  Initially, prices for matches at the tournament were set very high compared to tournaments such as the World Cup and UEFA Euros with some tickets costing as much as $2,200 for the final due to dynamic pricing. On February 10, 2025, it was reported that FIFA had cut the prices of tickets due to low interest, as the prices for the cheapest tickets for the semi-finals and final had dropped to around $140 and $300, respectively. Despite the prices being lowered, FIFA charged a 10% cancellation fee for those who wanted to exchange their tickets. At the time of the opening match, ticket prices had fallen even more drastically due to price cuts by FIFA, some packages allowed students to purchase several tickets for a total of just US$20, in order to guarantee a full stadium for the opening match with 60,000 spectators.
