England-Mexico World Cup tickets soar to £26k on FIFA resale portal

England supporters’ tickets for the World Cup last-16 clash with Mexico at the Azteca are being relisted on FIFA’s official resale site for far above face value, with some listings up to £26,220 per ticket after fees (face value £460). The ESTC allocation was 3,000 tickets out of 4,373 applications; resale is permitted and not restricted by the FA. Prices vary widely, the cheapest listings around £2,620, and at least 76 England-side tickets are currently listed in the England sections.
