Fans traveling to the 2026 World Cup in the US, Canada and Mexico report eye-watering costs—from hundreds of dollars per ticket to thousands for flights, hotels and transport—yet many say the once-in-a-lifetime experience justifies the price.
On HBO's Real Time, Bill Maher mocked Trump’s remarks about expensive Knicks playoff tickets, noting prices nearing seven figures for courtside seats and contrasting that with Trump’s streaming-price complaints, delivering a sharp rebuke about the cost of sports for everyday Americans.
FIFA pushed back on viral images of empty seats at a Guadalajara World Cup match, saying the official attendance figure was accurate and that several ticketed fans were seen standing in concourses rather than in their seats, which created the appearance of vacant sections despite a near-capacity crowd. The piece also touches on ticket prices and related scrutiny surrounding the tournament.
Knicks fans are projected to flood San Antonio for Game 5, with New York/New Jersey buyers making up about 31% of Finals ticket billing—well ahead of Texas at 20%. Pre-game prices have surged, with the get-in around $1,774 before Game 4 and courtside tickets reaching into the hundreds of thousands for some seats.

South Korea came from behind to beat the Czech Republic 2-1 in Guadalajara, with goals from Hwang In-beom and Oh Hyeon-gyu after Ladislav Krejci’s opener, while Son Heung-min spurned chances; the match was overshadowed by thousands of empty seats at Akron Stadium amid high ticket/hospitality prices and travel costs, with FIFA listing 44,985 in attendance of a 45,664 capacity. The result strengthens Korea’s and Mexico’s positions in Group A, while the Czech Republic face a tougher path to reach the knockout stage.
US interest in the 2026 World Cup appears to be a slow-build: major cities are promoting the event and younger fans show some enthusiasm, but many Americans remain more absorbed by basketball and face high ticket prices; organizers hope excitement grows as the tournament kicks off and a strong US run could boost soccer’s popularity, echoing the 1994 World Cup impact.
BBC InDepth argues the 2026 World Cup, staged across the US, Canada and Mexico, doubles as a pricing experiment: tickets and hospitality are priced dynamically to maximize revenue, with events largely held in rented NFL-style stadiums rather than new builds. FIFA collects much of the upside while host cities and ordinary fans shoulder costs, a model that echoes a K-shaped economy and risks reducing accessibility even as it boosts development funds and global branding. The piece questions whether this extreme commercialisation can be sustained or simply alienate fans.
Ticket prices for Game 4 of the Knicks-Spurs NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden have dropped to around $3,750 on secondary markets after San Antonio's 115-111 win; the series heads back to San Antonio for Game 5, with potential for higher prices if New York forces a 3-2 lead with a Game 6 at MSG, as Victor Wembanyama tallied 32 points in the Spurs' win.

President Trump plans to attend Game 3 of the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden, as the Knicks lead the Spurs 2-0 and security provisions are heightened; meanwhile, the cheapest tickets have fallen by more than 30%, with get-in prices around $8,049.
With the Knicks in the NBA Finals for the first time since 1999, MSG ticket prices have skyrocketed: the get-in price for Game 3 is about $10,085 and for Game 4 about $11,814, while the average prices are $6,487 and $7,163—the highest ever for an NBA Finals. By comparison, Game 2 in San Antonio carried a $600 get-in. The surge is driven by New York pent-up demand and the city’s market size; TickPick notes a sizable share of buyers for the San Antonio game were from NYC/NJ, and expects prices to stay elevated as the series could go to seven games.
The Knicks moved to a 2-0 lead in the NBA Finals with a 105-104 win over the Spurs and return to Madison Square Garden where ticket prices for Games 3 and 4 have surged into five figures per TickPick; with strong homecourt and Jalen Brunson’s leadership, Games 3 and 4 are set for 8:30 p.m. ET on Monday and Wednesday as New York eyes a potential championship.
