Ticket prices for Friday’s World Cup qualifier between the United States and Mexico have declined on the secondary market ahead of the game in Columbus, Ohio.
The cheapest price on the secondary market for a ticket to USA-Mexico has decreased 49% from October 27. At the end of October, prices started at $268. But as of today on sites such as Ticket Liquidator, TicketNetwork and SeatGeek, the lowest price for tickets is $136.
For the fifth time since Columbus has been the host of one of the biggest rivalries in international soccer, tickets for the USA-Mexico World Cup qualifier sold out very quickly. The match falls on Veterans Day and opens the Final Round of Qualifying, also known as the “Hex,” for the 2018 FIFA World Cup. The match is scheduled to kickoff at 8:01pm ET.
Tickets were initially assigned through a lottery system, and the applicants were awarded tickets in mid-October.
With the game being sold-out, the only way to watch the game in person is by purchasing USA-Mexico tickets on the secondary market.
One of the reasons for the 49% drop is supply and demand. When tickets were made available in late October on the secondary ticket market, there were initially fewer than 50 available. As of press time, there were less than 200 available. However, with tickets going fast on Ticket Liquidator, TicketNetwork and SeatGeek, the lower price USA-Mexico tickets won’t be available for long.
