This figure is almost twice the ticket sales of the Spain-France semifinals. Tickets for the match in Dallas, USA, can be purchased on the official FIFA platform for around $1,300. Fans can also seek cheaper options on other resale sites or through direct transactions. This disparity highlights the immense popularity of the Argentina-England match. The match is not just a simple showdown between two top contenders, but also linked to several historical events. Lionel Messi's presence has significantly increased ticket demand.

The 2026 World Cup is the first to introduce a legitimate ticket resale model in the United States, as per FIFA regulations. This system is similar to those used in major sports leagues like the NBA. Ticket prices fluctuate based on demand and supply, with popular matches commanding higher prices. This mechanism helps FIFA generate significant revenue. The estimated ticket sales revenue for the 2026 World Cup is around $3 billion, a threefold increase from the 2022 tournament.
