World Cup ticket prices hit staggering new heights as England vs Norway quarter-final scramble begins

England fans hoping to attend the Three Lions' World Cup quarter-final against Norway are facing another extraordinary ticket scramble after prices soared on the resale market.

Some listings have reached scarcely believable levels, with one ticket advertised for almost £6 million as sellers attempt to cash in on demand for Saturday's clash.

Some England vs Norway resale tickets have hit record highs

Tickets for England's quarter-final against Norway have appeared on FIFA's official resale platform at prices higher than any previously seen during the 2026 World Cup.

Demand surged after England completed a dramatic 3-2 victory over Mexico at the Estadio Azteca to secure their place in the last eight, while Norway booked their spot with a shock 2-1 win over Brazil.

The quarter-final at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami is already sold out, leaving supporters without tickets dependent on limited availability through the official resale market.

According to the Telegraph, at least one Category 1 ticket was listed for just over $8 million (£5.99m). The cheapest available ticket at the time was a Category 2 seat priced at $1,955 (£1,465).

Prices varied wildly across the different categories.

Category 1 tickets were listed from $3,214 (£2,400) up to $8.05 million, while some Category 2 seats reached $103,500 (£77,600) and Category 3 listings climbed as high as $57,500 (£43,100).

The most extreme listings are opportunistic asking prices rather than evidence that supporters are actually paying millions for seats.

However, ticket prices throughout the tournament have remained exceptionally high, with the average cheapest available ticket for upcoming matches on secondary resale platforms reportedly reaching £1,200 by the end of the group stage.

Around 4,000 England supporters who secured tickets through the FA's official allocation in January paid between £510 and £1,080.

Those travelling from Mexico City after the Round of 16 victory are also facing flight costs of around £250 to reach Miami.

FGG says: England resale tickets take World Cup controversy to absurd new levels

Nobody should mistake a £6 million asking price for the genuine market value of a World Cup quarter-final ticket, but the fact that such listings can appear on an official resale platform only adds to the sense of absurdity surrounding ticketing at this tournament.

England fans have already faced huge costs for tickets, flights and accommodation throughout the competition, and the latest scramble is another reminder of how expensive following a team deep into the World Cup has become.

The meeting with Norway should be one of the highlights of the tournament, but once again the conversation around a major 2026 World Cup fixture is being dominated by staggering resale prices rather than events on the pitch.
