Demand for tickets to the 2026 FIFA World Cup final continues to surge, with prices for the championship match between Argentina and Spain averaging $7,612 by Friday. This figure represents a 10% increase from earlier in the week, according to ticket-tracking service TicketData.com.
The escalating cost for the final stands in stark contrast to prices for earlier stages of the tournament.
