The get-in price for US World Cup knockout match in Seattle

Seattle will host one of the biggest matches in United States men’s soccer history on Monday night, when the Americans face Belgium in a round-of-16 World Cup knockout match. With a victory, the U.S. would advance to the World Cup quarterfinals for just the second time ever – and the first time since 2002.

To no surprise, fans will have to dig deep into their wallets for a chance to witness the action in person. As of mid-afternoon on Sunday, the get-in price for Monday night’s match was $1,715, according to TicketData.com.

That’s actually down from where the get-in price was in recent weeks. It peaked at $3,925 on June 21, then dipped to around $1,476 on June 29 before spiking back up to $3,059 last Wednesday night – immediately after the U.S. punched its ticket to Seattle with a 2-0 win over Bosnia and Herzegovina in the round of 32.

Since that spike last Wednesday night, the get-in price had been on a relatively steady decline. It dropped to $1,283 on Sunday morning before experiencing a slight uptick as the day went on.

Monday night’s U.S.-Belgium match is scheduled to kick off at 5 p.m. at Lumen Field – or Seattle Stadium, as it’s been temporarily renamed for the tournament.

World Cup bracket

This is the sixth and final World Cup match that Seattle is hosting – and the second that features the United States. The Americans beat Australia 2-0 in their second group match on June 19. The get-in price for that match closed at $1,758. The final get-in prices for Seattle’s other matches ranged between $355 and $662.

For context, the final get-in price for the NFC Championship Game between the Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams this past January at Lumen Field was $1,013.

The U.S.-Belgium match is currently the second-most expensive round-of-16 match in terms of get-in price. The most expensive round-of-16 match is the Mexico-England showdown Sunday night in Mexico City, which closed with a get-in price of $4,894. The World Cup final on July 19 in East Rutherford, New Jersey, currently has a get-in price of $9,749.
