FIFA cuts ticket price to $13.40 for Club World Cup semifinal between Chelsea and Fluminense

  • FIFA reduced the price of tickets to $13.40 for the 2025 Club World Cup semifinal between Chelsea and Fluminense, which will take place Tuesday at the stadium located in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
  • The steep price drop followed weak demand and sparse attendance linked to the tournament's congested football calendar affecting global appeal.
  • FIFA used dynamic ticket pricing for the 63-match event, successfully boosting attendances at some fixtures while others remained poorly filled.
  • Tickets fell from $473 on July 2 to 2.8% of that price within days, making entry cheaper than a stadium beer priced at $14, according to the Athletic.
  • The price cut aims to improve crowd numbers and demonstrate tournament value to clubs, sponsors, and broadcasters amid criticism of competition expansion.
