Gavin Noon Says Scotland 2026 World Cup Ticket Prices Are A Shambles
Scotland’s 2026 world cup ticket prices are already back on third-party resale sites just over a week before the opener against Haiti, with dozens of listings appearing online. The original seats were sold for between £53 and £380, but the market has already swung from face value to inflated asks and, in some cases, bargain-bin listings.
Gavin Noon On Scotland Tickets
Gavin Noon, who runs the social media site Scotland co-efficient, said the tickets had been sold in an "absolutely shambolic way". He also said some of the less desirable games were going for "less than a third of the face-value cost."
One ticket seen by the was listed at less than £200 on a third-party site, while other tickets for the 12 June match have been pushed to far higher levels. Noon said Fifa appeared to have turned to resale sites after being left with "tens of thousands" of unsold tickets.
Fifa Resale Site Fees
The picture gets messier because Fifa has been working with resale sites to shift thousands of unsold tickets after previously warning fans not to use them. Its own resale site charges buyers and sellers 15% on resold tickets, and some tickets have already been resold there for more than $2,000.
That leaves fans trying to buy into Scotland’s opening match in Boston facing a market with two very different price points: official original pricing and a resale scramble that is still active less than a week before kickoff. Noor?
Investigation And Access
Last week, the attorneys general of New York and New Jersey officially launched an investigation into Fifa’s practices. New Jersey attorney general Jennifer Davenport called the process a "gauntlet of confusion, fake scarcity and impossibly high prices".
Fans from countries such as Haiti will be unable to attend after being banned from entering the United States, while many Scotland supporters are still expected to travel even without tickets and watch in fan zones. For anyone still looking, the practical reality is that resale listings are live, prices are moving, and the cheapest seats are no longer sitting at the starting line.
