The current get-in price of a group stage game at the 2026 FIFA World Cup has dropped 17.1% on the secondary market in the past two weeks.
That's according to data from the ticket tracking service TicketData.com provided to Field Level Media on Thursday.
The average price currently sits at $567, down from $684 14 days ago and a whopping $720 30 days ago. The latter represents a 21.2% price drop in the past month.
In all, 87 of the 91 matches taking place in the U.S. and Canada have seen their get-in price (the cheapest ticket available) fall over the past 14 days.
The dip comes amid growing conversation about the high costs of tickets and travel for the first 48-team World Cup, to be held across the United States, Mexico and Canada from June 11-July 19. President Donald Trump admitted Thursday that 'I wouldn't pay it either' when asked about a $1,000 get-in price for the U.S. men's national team's opening game against Paraguay on June 12 in Los Angeles.
Earlier Thursday, FIFA released a new batch of World Cup tickets for sale not long after its president, Gianni Infantino, defended the high costs and attributed them to the demand in the U.S. market.
Per TicketData.com's figures, the U.S. venue that's seen the greatest drop in get-in price is Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., where the secondary market costs have declined by 29.5% in the past 30 days. Houston's NRG Stadium has had the greatest 14-day decline (22.8%) of the 11 American stadiums hosting games.
