FIFA has nearly 1,200 World Cup final tickets still on sale for $7,380

FIFA still has almost 1,200 Category 2 tickets available for the World Cup final on July 19 at MetLife Stadium, priced at $7,380 each. These seats are located in the top deck along the sidelines, spread across five sections. The governing body's last-minute ticket sales site had previously listed the game as sold out at times.

Beyond the $7,380 tickets, FIFA is also offering front Category 1 tickets in the lower deck, with prices ranging from $19,995 to $32,970. Hospitality tickets in the Trophy Lounge and Trophy Lounge+ sections are available for $34,500 and $32,500 respectively, and include food and drinks. Tickets for the quarterfinal match between Argentina and Switzerland were also available, ranging from $1,600 to $3,995.

Resale tickets on FIFA's marketplace show an even wider price range, from $7,440.50 up to an astonishing $11,499,998.85. FIFA has faced significant criticism throughout the tournament for its ticket pricing. One fan group even filed a lawsuit over what they described as "excessive ticket prices."

FIFA President Gianni Infantino has defended the high prices, citing laws in the U.S. that permit ticket resales for thousands of dollars above face value. However, FIFA is also facing a subpoena from the states of New York and New Jersey. This subpoena is part of an investigation into ticket pricing and the accuracy of seat locations for the World Cup.
