As Dallas-Fort Worth prepares to host its first knockout-round match of this World Cup, last-minute asking prices for tickets on the secondary market have dropped significantly compared with prices for earlier matches at Dallas Stadium.
Paying a little more than $700 for Tuesday’s Ivory Coast-Norway matchup on third-party ticketing platform StubHub can get you in the door for an upper-deck seat at Dallas Stadium.
Norway is seeking to become the first European team in this tournament to advance to the Round of 16 after Germany and the Netherlands were eliminated.
That price stands in sharp contrast to last-minute prices for Saturday’s Argentina-Jordan match. Even with questions surrounding how much Lionel Messi would play, if at all, it cost more than $2,000 for the cheapest seat and a chance to see the global superstar, according to StubHub.
The upcoming Ivory Coast-Norway game won’t lack star power. It should feature Norwegian superstar striker Erling Haaland, one of the rising stars in this edition of the World Cup and a prolific scorer for Manchester City in England’s Premier League.
