With the World Cup kicking off in Arlington, ticket prices are on the rise. The Arlington opener between the Netherlands and Japan kicks off at 3 p.m. Sunday, and ticket prices have only increased, according to TicketData.

Ticket Prices

A ticket for the opening match could cost between $803 and $3,450, according to the FIFA resale marketplace. The cheapest tickets available are for Japan vs. Sweden on June 25, listed at $412.28.

City staff told Arlington City Council that FIFA is holding 50% of tickets for all non-group stage matches until those teams are determined through the tournament. During that May 19 presentation, officials said only 35%-50% of overall tickets had been sold.

Dallas Stadium’s average least expensive tickets are among the top five costliest for host cities.
