## Resource

The World Cup is turning into a luxury event, with ticket prices soaring to levels that make it nearly impossible for locals to attend games in their own cities. In Mexico, low-income areas face shockingly high resale prices, while San Francisco’s wealthier crowd sees cheaper tickets due to lower demand. Toronto ranks as the fourth least affordable city, but its tickets were pulled from FIFA’s marketplace thanks to Ontario’s resale price cap — though black market prices still hit hundreds or even thousands. Meanwhile, New Jersey’s final match tickets are officially over $2,000 — nearly nine times what they cost in 2022 — with some resale listings hitting absurdly high figures like $2 million.
