Fifa raised its top ticket price for the World Cup final to $10,990 during the glitch-hampered reopening of sales on Wednesday after the 48-team field for this year’s tournament was finalized.

The top price for the final had been $8,680 when Fifa sold tickets after the tournament draw in December. Fifa’s Category 2 tickets for the 19 July game at MetLife Stadium are now $7,380, up from $5,575, and Category 3 now costs $5,785, an increase from $4,185.

The most expensive ticket for the final of the 2022 World Cup was priced at about $1,600.
