Resale ticket prices for the upcoming World Cup quarterfinal in Los Angeles crashed by nearly 60% after the consecutive tournament eliminations of the United States and Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal.

Secondary market ticket prices for Friday’s World Cup quarterfinal matchup in Los Angeles plummeted dramatically by nearly 60%. The sharp decline followed the high-profile eliminations of both the United States and Portugal during Monday’s Round of 16 fixtures.

According to data from TickPick, minimum entry prices plummeted from a peak of $2,950 down to approximately $1,200 by Tuesday afternoon.

The sudden exit of hosting nation United States to Belgium, coupled with Spain eliminating Cristiano Ronaldo, stripped significant star power and local demand from the upcoming match.

This dramatic market correction mirrors a broader tournament trend. Overall quarterfinal resale prices dipped over 30% in 24 hours as available secondary marketplace inventory spiked to nearly 50,000 tickets.
