Ticket prices for two World Cup knockout-round matches dropped by at least 40% within hours of losses by Canada and South Korea on Wednesday, according to TicketData.com.

South Korea was expected to advance to the June 28 round-of-32 game in L.A., but the South Koreans’ 1-0 loss to South Africa moved the Bafana Bafana into that L.A. date. As of Thursday morning, the get-in price had fallen to $688, a three-day change of down 59%.

Canada was headed for a July 2 knockout-round match in Vancouver, but the Canadians’ home game plans were ruined by a 2-1 defeat to the Swiss. As of Thursday morning, the get-in price had declined to $581, a three-day change of down 64%.
