Get to New York for Norway vs. Brazil: Fewer than 1000 expensive match tickets remain

Fans eager to support Norway in their World Cup Round of 16 match against Brazil in New York will face steep prices for both travel and tickets. Norse Atlantic Airways is launching direct flights from Oslo to New York specifically for the July 5th game, a decision made after Norway's victory over Ivory Coast.

As soon as the referee blew the whistle, we knew thousands of Norwegians would start dreaming about the Brazil match. That's why we're setting up a special World Cup flight to New York, just as 'Airline on Demand' should function.

"As soon as the referee blew the whistle, we knew thousands of Norwegians would start dreaming about the Brazil match," said Eivind Roald, CEO of Norse Atlantic. "That's why we're setting up a special World Cup flight to New York, just as 'Airline on Demand' should function." The airline promises a unique travel experience, with the "football party starting at Gardermoen."

SAS is also experiencing a surge in demand for its New York flights, with many travelers suffering from "FoFo – Fotball-VM-Fomo" (World Cup FOMO). All direct flights from Oslo to New York are now sold out, and routes from Stockholm and Copenhagen are also filling up quickly. SAS noted the "magical atmosphere" on previous flights filled with "euphoric Norwegians."

We definitely see that a good number of Norwegians are now suffering from FoFo – Fotball-VM-Fomo.

As of Wednesday morning, direct flights from Gardermoen to New York on Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday were sold out. However, two SAS departures on Thursday, July 2, still had seats available. The cheapest one-way tickets for these flights were priced at 21,899 Norwegian kroner (approximately $2,100), with the most expensive reaching 41,357 kroner (approximately $4,000).

The football party starts at Gardermoen.

Match tickets are also scarce and costly. While "Last minute sales" on FIFA's resale platform showed no availability, the marketplace offered some options. "Fifa Pavilion" tickets were available for $3,100 (about 31,000 Norwegian kroner), and VIP tickets were priced at $5,750 (over 57,000 Norwegian kroner), with only three remaining. "Trophy lounge" tickets were priced at $4,500 (just under 45,000 Norwegian kroner).

It has been a magical atmosphere and a full football party onboard the flights we have already completed with euphoric Norwegians to the World Cup, and we are greatly looking forward to transporting even more to the adventure that is now unfolding across the pond.
