FIFA World Cup 2026: FIFA World Cup 2026 has now reached its exciting stage. The quarter final matches of FIFA World Cup 2026 are going to start from this week. At the same time, after the exit of Portugal and USA from the tournament, the demand for tickets for the big knockout matches has decreased.

This has also affected the ticket prices and the tickets for many matches have become much cheaper than before. According to the secondary ticket selling platform TickPick, the price of tickets for the quarter final match of FIFA World Cup 2026 to be played on Friday between Spain and Belgium has fallen drastically. While till Tuesday afternoon a ticket was available for around $2,950, later its price came down to around $1,200.

This significant drop in ticket prices was seen after the United States was eliminated from the tournament. Belgium defeated the United States 4-1 in the Round of 16, ending their run. It is believed that had the host team reached the quarterfinals, ticket prices would have remained high due to high demand from home fans. Portugal’s elimination is also believed to be a major reason for the drop in ticket prices.

Spain defeated Portugal 1-0 in the round of 16, ending their World Cup campaign. This defeat also ended Cristiano Ronaldo’s World Cup campaign. Portugal’s exit eliminated one of the tournament’s most popular teams from the knockout stage, which also impacted ticket demand.

How much are the tickets available now?

Many expected Portugal to clash with the United States in the quarterfinals. Demand for tickets for this match was expected to be high due to Cristiano Ronaldo’s popularity and the United States being the host. However, this did not happen due to both teams being eliminated. Currently, the lowest-priced tickets for the quarterfinals are available for the match between France and Morocco, to be held at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro. According to ticket sales platform TickPick, the starting price for tickets for the quarterfinal match between France and Morocco is $989. This means that spectators can buy tickets for this match starting at $989.
