Thousands of tickets unsold for England v France World Cup match

Thousands of tickets are still available for Saturday's World Cup bronze medal match between England and France, according to Fifa's official ticket sites. As of Friday at 10:00 BST, the game in Miami (kick off 22:00 BST) has not yet sold out, with 1,246 tickets on general sale listed at $865 (£657) and $1,125 (£855).

Resale market offers discounts

An additional 5,864 tickets are available on the official resale platform, with the cheapest being category three tickets at a face value of $455 (£346) plus Fifa's 15% fee. However, many tickets in higher-priced categories are listed well below their original purchase price. For example, a category one ticket originally priced at $1,125 (£855) is now available at a heavily discounted $659 (£500).

World Cup final also not sold out

Sunday's World Cup final is also not yet fully sold out, with 32 of the most expensive tickets still on general sale. These tickets cost between $29,995 (£22,796) and $32,970 (£25,057) and are standard tickets, not VIP. More than a thousand tickets remain available on the Fifa resale site, several around face value plus the Fifa fee. The original price of these tickets was $7,380 (£5,609), meaning that if purchased, Fifa would add an extra $1,107 (£841).

The most expensive resale ticket for the final is listed at $2 million (£1.52 million), plus a Fifa fee of $300,000 (£228,000). Prices on the resale platform are set by users and do not directly reflect what people are actually paying.
