World Cup 2026 Quarterfinal Ticket Prices Drop 60% After USA, Ronaldo Exits

Resale ticket prices for the FIFA World Cup 2026 quarterfinals have fallen by as much as 60% after the United States and Portugal were eliminated in the round of 16. The two teams were among the most popular draws for fans attending the tournament.

The United States, a co-host of the tournament, lost its round of 16 match, while Portugal, led by star player Cristiano Ronaldo, also exited in the same stage. Their departures reduced demand for tickets to the quarterfinal matches.

Ticket resale platforms reported a sharp decline in prices for quarterfinal games, with some listings dropping by 60% compared to earlier levels. The drop reflects the impact of high-profile team eliminations on secondary market pricing.

The World Cup 2026 quarterfinals are scheduled to take place across multiple U.S. cities. Organizers had anticipated strong demand for matches involving the host nation and Portugal, but the early exits have reshaped the market.
