Four tickets for the World Cup final on 19 July at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey have been listed for nearly $2.3m each on Fifa's Resale/Exchange Marketplace. The seats are located behind a goal in the lower deck of the arena.
Fifa does not control the asking prices on its resale platform but charges a 15% purchase fee from the buyer and a 15% resale fee from the seller. If one of these tickets sells at $2.3m, Fifa would earn $690,000 in fees.
Other tickets for the final include a lower-deck easy access standard seat listed at $207,000, a category two seat in the top row of the upper deck at $138,000, and a nearby seat at $23,000. The cheapest tickets available on Thursday were $10,923.85 for four seats near the top of the upper deck behind a goal.
Fifa put new blocks of tickets on sale on Wednesday, with direct tickets for the final costing $10,990. In January, the most expensive resale ticket for the final was $230,000.
Unlike previous World Cups where resale prices were capped at face value, Fifa has opted not to cap prices for this tournament, citing the loosely regulated secondary market in the US and Canada. The organisation claims this discourages scalpers from using third-party sites like StubHub.
Tickets for other matches are also available, including semi-finals in Arlington and Atlanta, and group stage matches involving the US and Canada. No tickets were listed directly by Fifa for the tournament opener between Mexico and South Africa in Mexico City.
