Spaces for group-stage games at MetLife Stadium near New York cost $225 (\u00a3171).<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Uefa has promised to reserve 10,000 tickets for each country for all group matches. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Fifa allocated under 4,000 tickets to each national association at the World Cup, despite most stadiums being bigger.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Controversially, Fifa has applied dynamic pricing throughout its sales periods, leading to prices being further inflated. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The final tranche of World Cup tickets will be released by Fifa on Wednesday. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Euro 2028 will not have dynamic pricing and Uefa has promised that roughly half will be affordable.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Fifa, meanwhile, has offered no detail on how many tickets are available in each category.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">There has been controversy over the pricing for disabled fans, too. At the World Cup they must pay full price and there is no free ticket for a companion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">At Euro 2028, disabled supporters can access the cheapest categories and request a complimentary ticket for a helper.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Uefa&#8217;s resale value will be face value, while World Cup tickets are resold on a secondary market at inflated prices, with Fifa taking a 30% cut on top &#8211; 15% each off the buyer and seller.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">A full list of ticket prices and sales dates for Euro 2028 will be announced in autumn 2027, with the first window opening after the draw in December.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Like the World Cup, ticket prices for the Euro 2028 will rise through the knockout rounds. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">But tickets for the semi-finals and final of the Euros will be nothing like at the World Cup. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Supporter value tickets for the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey will be \u00a33,119. At Euro 2024, the same band of tickets cost 95 euros (\u00a382.50).<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Euro 2028 host venues<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">England: Everton Stadium, Manchester City Stadium, St James&#8217; Park, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Villa Park, Wembley Stadium <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Scotland: Hampden Park, Glasgow<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Wales: National Stadium of Wales, Cardiff<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Republic of Ireland: Dublin Arena <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"But that is only the tip of the iceberg in terms of prices at the World Cup.
