Around 350 tickets remain in FIFA’s primary inventory and about 2,500 are available on the secondary market for the USMNT’s World Cup opener against Paraguay on Friday, according to TicketData.com.
Keith Pagello, founder of TicketData.com, said the get-in price for U.S.-Paraguay at Inglewood’s SoFi Stadium has “held impressively steady” over the past 30 days at around $900 per ticket.
Resale ticket availability -- 0.5% of the 70,240-seat stadium -- is “very much in line” with NHL, NBA and MLB playoff games and NFL regular-season games, Pagello added.
“I would not be surprised if prices come down a bit in the final 24 hours, but I think it will be modest,” Pagello said. “Even if it comes down to say $500, yes, that’s definitely noteworthy, but it’s not some ‘epic disaster.’ I would also not be surprised to see the $900 get-in hold flat or even rise.”
As of Friday morning, tickets for the U.S.-Paraguay game jumped to $1,129. Meanwhile, tickets for Canada vs. Bosnia-Herzegovina also have seen a slight increase leading up to match day, now sitting at $817.
