Went to purchase presale tickets for the final at MetLife Stadium today...

Cheapest ticket was $613 (with fees included)

WTF!?!?

Yes, not enough coffee this am.

More importantly, you didn't give them all that money did you?

No, not paying $1,200 for a club game

Pricing for ALL GAMES is so off.

I talked to the Marketing head at Mercedes-Benz Stadium (ATL) last week about this issue. He said FIFA sets all prices.

Upper tickets for pointless group games go as high as $100...with the lowest I have found at $65 + fees. Almost none have sold.

Semi Finals in NJ
$345 for worst seats
$1215 for lower corners

Final
$613 for worst seats
$2787 for lower corners

And this is these morons testing the market for the World Cup...

Correct. I would (and probably will) hit a meaningless game in Philly (15 min from my house) for $100 per ticket. But I cannot justify $1250 for two tickets for a club final in some crappy upper-level seats behind the goal

It's such a sad state of affairs now (soccer)

The game created by the down trodden and poor, now only affordable by the extremely wealthy. FIFA are the worst custodians of the game imaginable.

cheapest ticket for a 1st round match at Sofi in LA is around 1500 a pop for nosebleed

Ah, nvm this is for the World Cup. Just saw OP was referencing Club World Cup.

My friends and I all declined to buy tickets for the three Sounders matches here in Seattle because the ticket prices were ridiculous...about 5x the price for the same seats for a Sounders regular season match.

FIFA must think US soccer fans are idiots....

This is insane. I paid way less for World Cup games that were way more meaningful and important, even if they were in the group stages. No way football has gotten that much bigger in the last 5 years.

That's still an insane price for a game, even in LA.
