Ticket prices for England’s clash against Mexico on Sunday have soared to more than 50 times their face value, as World Cup fever grips Mexican fans seeking to glimpse their team on home turf for the last time.
The match is the tournament’s last at the legendary stadium known as the Azteca, and tickets are listed at as much as $36,000 on resale sites. Prices have risen by a third in the past three days alone, according to TicketData, even as tickets for other knockout games are falling in value.
Football-obsessed Mexico fans have paid the highest prices throughout the 2026 World Cup — hosted in the US, Mexico and Canada — despite far lower average wages than their North American neighbours.
