England and Scotland fans hoping to get tickets for this summer’s World Cup face paying vastly inflated prices through Fifa’s official resale platform.. As of Tuesday, 6,135 tickets were listed by sellers across the six group games involving the two home nations on that particular platform.. Fifa is not currently selling tickets itself for these games as things stand, though it is not known if they are sold out.. It has not released any data on individual matches but has said more tickets could be released for games in the coming weeks.. This means that supporters are left with a choice between paying inflated prices or waiting and hoping that more tickets are officially released.. Fifa takes a 30% fee – 15% each off both buyer and seller – from each ticket which is sold.. The prices are set by the sellers, which can be anyone who was successful in one of the sales periods.. BBC Sport has taken a look at just how much fans are expected to pay to get into this summer’s World Cup.. England’s cheapest ticket costs £612. England’s Group L matches are expected to be some of the most popular, with a huge ex-pat community across the United States.. Members of the England Supporters Travel Club who were not successful in the ballot are expected to travel to Dallas, Boston and New York in the hope they can secure a ticket.. If they want to do so right now, it will be very expensive.. In total, there were 3,198 tickets on resale for the Three Lions’ fixtures.. For the opening game against Croatia, the cheapest ticket – with Fifa’s fees added – costs $898 (£628). That is more than three times the category three face value of $265 (£201).. The biggest mark-up is shown in the category four tickets. Fifa only put a very small number of these on sale in the original October ballot, mostly priced at $60 (£45).. For Croatia, only two of these tickets are on resale priced at $1,955 (£1,486) and $2,300 (£1,748).. The asking price for many tickets across categories for the three games is as high as $17,250 (£13,110).. The $11k World Cup final ticket – what we learned from first open sale. 5 days ago. Complaint filed over World Cup ticket prices. 24 March. World Cup ticket prices ‘monumental betrayal’ say fans’ group. 11 December 2025. The other two group games are cheaper, but only just.. The best deal available for England fans is a category two ticket for the Ghana game in Boston. It is priced at $805 (£612) from a face value of $430 (£327).. The cheapest category one resale ticket is in this fixture, costing $1,208 (£918) from a face value of $600 (£456).. But there are category one tickets with a price as high as $29,900 (£22,724).. Prices for the final group game against Panama are of a similar level. The cheapest ticket is in category three and costs $920 (£699) from a face of $255 (£194)..
