Tickets that England supporters originally bought for the big last-16 match against Mexico are now being listed for huge amounts of money. On FIFA’s official resale website, some of these tickets are going for as much as £26,000.

How the Resale System Works

FIFA allows fans to sell back tickets they no longer want through its official portal. This is meant to be a safe and fair way for other fans to buy seats. But some England fans are using it to make a profit instead.

  • Tickets that cost a few hundred pounds are now listed for thousands.
  • The most expensive ticket we found was £26,000 for a good seat.
  • Many fans are upset that the system lets prices go so high.

Why Some Fans Are Selling Their Tickets

Some England fans planned to attend the match in Mexico but changed their minds due to travel costs or other plans. Others are just looking to cash in on the high demand for this match. Mexico is a popular spot for the World Cup, and the game is expected to be exciting.

One fan told us: “I bought two tickets for £400 each. I sold them for £5,000 each because I couldn’t afford the trip. It was too good of an offer to say no.”

What This Means for Other Supporters

For fans who still want to see the game, these high prices make it almost impossible to buy tickets. Many are angry that FIFA’s system allows such huge markups. The official resale site was supposed to stop scalpers, but it seems to be helping them instead.

FIFA says it is monitoring the situation and may take action if needed. But for now, anyone hoping to watch England face Mexico in the last 16 might have to pay a lot more than they planned.
