FIFA released more than 1,000 World Cup final tickets on Friday, ahead of the Spain vs Belgium quarterfinal, days after the July 19 final appeared sold out.
The 2026 FIFA World Cup final will take place at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. The newly released allocation includes about 1,200 upper-deck seats priced around $7,380 each.
The 68 lower-deck seats were listed between $19,995 and $32,970. Hospitality packages with food and drinks ranged from $32,500 to $34,500.
On FIFA’s resale marketplace, final ticket prices ranged from about $7,440 to $11.5 million.
The pricing has drawn criticism from attorneys general in California, New York, New Jersey and Texas. Some officials raised concerns with FIFA, and others opened inquiries over seat location and quality disclosures.
FIFA President Gianni Infantino defended the pricing, saying demand for the tournament had risen tenfold or more compared with past editions.

Infantino said tournament tickets started at $60, and the average price across the event was just under $500. He argued that the average was below prices for many U.S. sports events.
