Ticket prices for the highly anticipated round of 16 match between the United States and Belgium on Monday plunged by more than 30 percent before rebounding slightly early Saturday evening.

According to ticket-tracking service TicketData.com, the get-in price for the final 2026 World Cup match in Seattle hit nearly $4,000 on June 1. After the US secured their spot in the round of 16 with a 2-0 win over Bosnia and Herzegovina, the price spiked to $2,836.

However, the get-in price has steadily declined in the days since. It dropped to $1,423 on Saturday afternoon – a 32 percent decrease over the past three days – but rebounded to $1,635 at 6pm Eastern Time (23:00 GMT).

That late boost pushed the US-Belgium game from the fourth-highest get-in price to the second-highest among the eight round of 16 matches. Mexico’s game against England in Mexico City on Sunday sits at $3,574.

The significant drop in the get-in price for the US-Belgium game is somewhat surprising considering the Red Devils’ base camp is located just 16 kilometers (10 miles) south of Seattle Stadium. Monday will mark Belgium’s third match in Seattle following a 1-1 draw with Egypt and a dramatic 3-2 comeback victory over Senegal.
