High ticket prices are blamed for the slow sales. Top-category tickets cost $2,730 (approximately 25,000 SEK), and the next tier costs $1,940 (approximately 18,000 SEK). When sales opened in October, the USA opener was the third most expensive match in the tournament, behind only the final and a semifinal.
Other matches in Los Angeles, such as Iran vs New Zealand, have sold over 50,000 tickets. Despite the comparison, a FIFA spokesperson said: "Ticket sales for the FIFA World Cup remain strong with great interest for all matches."
