A category one ticket with an original price of $1,125 (£855) has a hugely discounted price of $659 (£500). Sunday's World Cup final is also not yet fully sold out, with 32 of the most expensive tickets still on general sale.

The Details

However, these tickets cost between $29,995 (£22,796) and $32,970 (£25,057). These are standard tickets, not VIP. More than a thousand tickets remain available on the Fifa resale site, several around face value plus the Fifa fee.

The original price of these tickets was $7,380 (£5,609), which means if you decided to buy one of these, Fifa will add an extra $1,107 (£841). The most expensive resale ticket for the final is listed at $2m (£1. 52m), plus a Fifa fee of $300,000 (£228,000).
