  • Tickets for the 2026 World Cup quarter-final match between Norway and England are being resold for exorbitant prices, with one offer reaching $1 million for two tickets.

  • One England fan stated they sold their apartment to afford a ticket, highlighting the desperation and high demand for the match.

Tickets for the highly anticipated 2026 World Cup quarter-final clash between Norway and England are fetching astronomical prices on the resale market, with one listing on a resale platform reaching an astonishing $1 million for a pair of tickets. This extreme offer, initially priced at $1,285 by FIFA, underscores the lack of a legal cap on resale prices, allowing for what the report calls "absolute fantasy" offers.

While the $1 million listing captures headlines, more accessible, though still inflated, options exist. One ticket was reportedly available for $5,000. The desperation to attend the match is palpable, with one England supporter admitting to selling their apartment to secure a ticket, and contemplating selling their car if the team reaches the semi-finals.

An estimated 10,000 England fans are expected to support their team at the Miami stadium, which has a capacity of over 64,000. The quarter-final match is scheduled to kick off late Saturday night, local time. The second semi-final pairing will be determined after the Argentina vs. Switzerland match.

I had to sell my apartment to get here. If we make it to the semi-finals, I'll have to sell my car too.
