The Athletic | Football(@TheAthleticFC):When FIFA first put tickets on sale for the 2026 World Cup final, its prices left fans aghast. Many upper-deck seats cost $4,210; anything closer to the field was $6,730. In subsequent months, FIFA raised those prices, all the way to $10,990 in Category 1, and fans around the world howled. But on the eve of Sunday’s final, the secondary market makes those FIFA prices look like bargains. More from @HenryBushnell ⬇️ 🔗
