ENGLAND fans will have to fork out more than £5,000 to watch every game if the Three Lions get to the World Cup Final.
Fifa have finally released their full ticketing price list for the 104-match event.
And it unveils the scale of the cost to fans hoping to roar Thomas Tuchel’s side on to glory.
The lowest-priced “value tier” seat for England’s opening match, against Croatia in the AT&T Stadium home of the Dallas Cowboys on June 17, is $265, currently an eye-popping £198.
And the asking price rises hugely for the other two categories available, with the “standard” tier seats at £374 and the top-priced “premium tier” tickets at £523.
The prices for England’s next two group games, against Ghana in the Gillette Stadium outside Boston and Panama at the MetLife Stadium near New York, are slightly less.
Bottom price seats for those matches will be available for $180, which is just over £134, rising to £373 per seat.
It means the minimum price for England’s opening three games will be £466, more than the cost of a SEASON TICKET at 19 of the 24 Championship clubs.
And the price of tickets will then escalate if England progress through the knock-out stages.
A last 32 ticket, which would see England play a third-placed side in Atlanta, will range from £175 to £455.

The last 16 clash, potentially against Mexico in the Azteca, will set fans back between £220 and £574.
And prices then go totally through the roof.
If England play Brazil in the scheduled quarter-final clash in Miami, the lowest-priced tickets will be £507, up to £1073.
The semi-final tickets will be available for between £686 and £2363, while if England do return to the MetLIfe for the July 19 Final, it will cost a minimum of £3,119 for a ticket, up to £6,469.
That adds up to between £5,173 and a staggering £12,226.
Each team will have an official allocation of eight per cent of the stadium capacity for all their games.
All the tickets available through the official allocation, with members of the England Travel Supporters Club having priority – will be at the official cost price.
For England’s opener, with an 80,000 capacity in Arlington, outside Dallas, that will mean half of the 6,400 tickets in the lowest price bracket, with the remaining 3,200 split evenly between the top price and middle bracket.
But with Fifa operating an Oasis-style “dynamic pricing” model for the “neutral” tickets, the thousands of England fans who had been considering travelling to the USA face racking up bills well into five figures if they want to support Thomas Tuchel’s men – BEFORE the cost of flights, accommodation and food and drink are added.
A Fifa spokesman declined to comment although world chiefs argue that the legal status of the “secondary market” in the US and Canada left them powerless to resist the pull of the open market.
In Mexico, by contrast, it is ILLEGAL to sell tickets above their face value.
But while fans who obtain tickets through the ballot – which reopened on Thursday afternoon, with more than one million tickets available before applications shut next month – are obliged to re-sell any unwanted seats through Fifa’s own platform, Zurich will take 15 per cent from BOTH the buyer and seller.
And the confirmation of the prices brought an angry reaction from Football Supporters Europe, the continent-wide fan group.
It said: “Football Supporters Europe is astonished by the extortionate ticket prices imposed by FIFA on the most dedicated supporters for next year’s FIFA World Cup.
“Tickets are reaching astronomical levels. To follow their team in every match through to the Final will cost them nearly five times as much as during the World Cup in Qatar.
“Supporters are expected to pay this full amount in early 2026 to have the opportunity to follow their team up to the final.
“Adding insult to injury, the lowest price category will not be available to the most dedicated supporters through their National Associations, as FIFA chose to reserve the scarce number of category 4 tickets to the general sales, subject to dynamic ticket pricing.
“This is a monumental betrayal of the tradition of the World Cup, ignoring the contribution of supporters to the spectacle it is.”
FSE added: “The bid document released in 2018 promised tickets priced as low as $21 (£16). Where are these tickets now?
“The full way to the final, according to the same bid book, was supposed to cost $2242 (£1805) in the cheapest category. This promise is long gone.”
