World Cup final tickets fetch $123,000 on resale market

This figure, reported by The Athletic, surpasses the previous record held by the Super Bowl two years ago by approximately 20,000 kronor.

When FIFA initially released tickets for sale, the cheapest options were priced at $2,790, roughly 27,000 kronor. The dramatic increase in resale value highlights the immense demand and perceived value of attending the final match.
