Summary
About 7,110 tickets were still available Friday morning for Saturday's World Cup third-place match between England and France in Miami, leaving the game short of a sellout hours before kickoff.
Fifa's main sales site listed 1,246 standard tickets at $865 and $1,125, while another 5,864 were on the official resale platform, where the cheapest category-three seats were $455 plus a 15% fee.
Resale prices for the bronze match have already fallen below face value in higher tiers, including a category-one ticket originally priced at $1,125 being offered for $659.
Sunday's World Cup final also still had inventory, with 32 top-priced standard tickets unsold on general sale at $29,995 to $32,970 and more than 1,000 seats listed on resale.
That resale market spans from roughly face value to extreme asks: tickets originally sold for $7,380 incur a $1,107 Fifa fee, while the priciest final ticket was listed at $2 million plus $300,000 in fees.
