USMNT Round of 16 World Cup Ticket Prices Drop Despite Balogun Red Card Reversal
The US men's national team faces a crucial World Cup round of 16 match against Belgium at Lumen Field in Seattle on Monday night. Star striker Folarin Balogun will headline the match, following a highly-publicized red card reversal.
Reaching the round of 16 is familiar territory for the USMNT, but the team has only advanced beyond this stage once, in the 2002 World Cup in Japan and South Korea. Despite the team's surge in popularity, ticket prices have dropped across all categories on FIFA's official resale platform. The lowest ticket price is now $1,943 for a Category 1 entry and $1,322 for Category 2, with the most expensive tickets listed at $11,500.
Ticket availability for Monday's match is extremely limited, with only 170 tickets left on StubHub. The winner will advance to the World Cup quarterfinal in Los Angeles on July 10, facing either Portugal or Spain. If the USMNT loses, their next game will be in the October FIFA international window, but a win could lead to a semifinal match in Dallas against France or Morocco.
