The excitement of the World Cup is palpable across North America.
Fans from California to Mexico, Canada, and New Jersey are filling massive stadiums to support their teams in the intense quest for advancement in this 48-team tournament.
However, there’s a catch: attending these momentous games can be incredibly pricey, particularly for matches featuring prominent players like Christian Pulisic, Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappé, Harry Kane, and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Research indicates that tickets for most games featuring these star athletes usually exceed $1,000.
But—there is some good news.
We’ve located the cheapest ticket options across all 16 venues, which include iconic locations like MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, SoFi Stadium in California, and AT&T Stadium in Dallas.
These tickets are relatively affordable, especially if being at a World Cup match is a lifelong dream for you.
Currently, the lowest price for a seat at group stage games from June 18th to June 27th is about $310, inclusive of fees, available through SeatGeek.
This price is for the match between New Zealand and Egypt on June 21st at Vancouver’s Place Stadium.
Other matches in the group stages range from around $338 to a steep $3,671 for the Colombia vs. Portugal game in Miami.
Consider using promo code NYPOST10 to get $10 off your first purchase on SeatGeek if you spend $250 or more.
Sure, you can find cheaper tickets for matches featuring smaller teams like Cape Verde or Qatar, but let’s be real—it’s the World Cup, and who knows when it’ll return to North America.
If you’re a true fan, you probably won’t want to miss this opportunity.
“Honestly, it felt like I was at the Super Bowl,” remarked a California reporter after attending the USMNT vs. Paraguay match in Los Angeles.
“Celebrities were everywhere and, despite the game taking place in LA, the crowd was incredibly loud—like nothing I’ve heard at SoFi Stadium.”
