Sunday’s World Cup final is expected to be one of the biggest matches in history – and the most expensive if you want to be in the stadium where the match will be played.
With less than 48 hours remaining before Argentina take on Spain inside MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, ticket prices have soared into the $10,000 range for single tickets while hospitality packages (available through FIFA’s official hospitality provider On Location) range upwards of $30,000 to nearly $60,000 for select lounges.
At last check today on the official FIFA website, On Location had select hospitality tickets available for the Pitchside Lounge at $57,500 each, while lower level access was available within the Trophy Lounge for $34,500. The Champions Club Lounges, FIFA Suite and Supporters Club Lounges are completely sold out at the time of writing. On StubHub, the lowest ticket price available was $9,753 while the highest price was $69,786.
This is nothing compared to the deal Knightsbridge Circle has struck for customers to attend the highly anticipated match. The private, membership-based global concierge service — which has locations in London, New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Dallas and Palm Beach, Florida — sold an unprecedented soccer World Cup final package for $4 million.
The package, which went on sale in early June days before players took to the pitch for the first match of the 2026 tournament, includes six front-row seats on the halfway line as well as access to the pitch for the awards ceremony. Knightsbridge Circle has confirmed the sale to Hollywood Reporterstating that the package represents “a level of access that has never before been offered in a FIFA World Cup Final.”
Per Knightsbridge Circle founder Stuart McNeil, who founded the luxury travel, VIP access and lifestyle management company for high net worth individuals in 2012, five per cent of its members will attend Sunday’s game. In addition to the six-ticket deal for the final, Knightsbridge Circle has bid for two half-line seats (plus pitch-side access and access to the cup ceremony) for $1.5 million. Although England and France lost in the semi-finals, market interest has dropped slightly and these tickets are now available for $750,000 to members.
Speaking of the market, Knightsbridge Circle reports that its members have turned to last-minute bookings as they wait to see how teams progress in the category. These reservations go beyond just access to the stadium: Knightsbridge also arranges landing spots for private planes or helicopters, hospitality suites, security details, and more.
There’s no word on whether or not these high-net-worth individuals will also be mingling with all the celebrities in the stadium, but there will likely be many of them expected to be in attendance. The halftime show will be star-studded with the likes of BTS, Madonna, Shakira, Burna Boy, Justin Bieber, Gustavo Dudamel and the Orchestra performing at the halfway point, sharing the stadium for just an 11-minute sprint.
said series executive producer Jay Carrington of Done+Dusted THR Earlier in the day, the scene had been in the works for some time with Coldplay’s Chris Martin helping to steer the ship. “Obviously I’m not giving anything away in terms of the performance itself, but we’ve spent months and months preparing for this, developing it and working with all the artists,” Carrington said. “It’s a carefully orchestrated performance and it’s going to be amazing.”
The FIFA World Cup Finals kick off on Sunday at 3pm ET/12pm PT.
