Thousands of tickets remain available for the upcoming World Cup third-place match between England and France in Miami. Approximately 7,000 tickets are still listed on Fifa‘s official ticket sites for the match scheduled for Saturday. The game, which kicks off at 22:00 BST, has not yet sold out.

On Friday at 10:00 BST, 1,246 tickets were available for general sale, with prices ranging from $865 to $1,125. Additionally, 5,864 tickets are listed on the official resale platform. The cheapest category three tickets on resale are available at a face value of $455, plus Fifa‘s 15% fee.

Ticket Availability and Pricing Details

Many tickets in higher-priced categories are being offered at significantly reduced prices on the resale platform. For instance, a category one ticket originally priced at $1,125 is now listed for $659. These resale prices are determined by users and may not reflect the actual amount paid by the original purchasers.

The World Cup final, set for Sunday, also has remaining tickets. 32 of the most expensive tickets are still on general sale, with prices between $29,995 and $32,970. These are standard tickets, not VIP packages. Over a thousand tickets for the final are also available on the Fifa resale site, some at face value plus the Fifa fee. The original price for these tickets was $7,380, with an additional Fifa fee of $1,107. The most expensive resale ticket for the final is listed at $2m, plus a Fifa fee of $300,000.

Match Preview: France vs. England

Both France and England are looking to conclude their tournament on a positive note after experiencing semi-final defeats. France suffered a 2-0 loss to Spain, with Mikel Oyarzabal and Pedro Porro scoring. The French squad, featuring players like Kylian Mbappe, Ousmane Dembele, and Michael Olise, aims for a bronze medal, especially with reports suggesting this could be Didier Deschamps‘ final tournament as manager. France has a history of high-scoring third-place matches, including a 6-3 victory over West Germany in 1958.

England‘s semi-final exit was a different scenario, as Thomas Tuchel‘s side led Argentina 1-0 with a goal from Anthony Gordon in the 55th minute. However, Argentina scored twice in the last six minutes, with Enzo Fernández equalising in the 85th minute and Lautaro Martínez scoring the winner in stoppage time. Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham have been key to England‘s scoring throughout the tournament. England has previously lost both of its other third-place appearances, to Italy in 1990 and Belgium in 2018.

The match is anticipated to be a competitive encounter between two teams with elite individual talent and a history of high-scoring finishes in this fixture. The outcome may depend on which team can better overcome the psychological impact of their semi-final losses.
