Sticker Shock: Canada's World Cup Opener Against Bosnia to Cost a Pretty Penny

FIFA resale tickets for Canada's World Cup opener at BMO Field are listed at $3,125, reflecting intense demand for the June 12 match against Bosnia-Herzegovina.
Bosnia-Herzegovina booked their World Cup ticket last Tuesday by defeating Italy 1-1 on penalties in a final qualifier, confirming the high-profile Toronto matchup.
Ticket broker Jagger Long, owner of Toronto-based Karma Tickets, called the pricing expected for a "world-stage event," comparing demand to the 2019 NBA Finals.
On Thursday, the FIFA platform held 726 tickets at $3,125 each, while the newly opened resale queue showed 207 tickets available at varying prices.
With kickoff 10 weeks away, Long advises fans to "wait it out" for prices to drop, though he cautioned declines may only reach $2,000 or $1,800.
