As Miami prepares to host the first-ever 32-team FIFA Club World Cup opener this weekend, ticket sales are off to a slow start. Despite the historic nature of the event, seats are still widely available — and at surprisingly low prices. While this is good news for budget-conscious fans, it may raise concerns for organizers hoping for a strong turnout. According to NBC Miami , FIFA slashed prices for the opening match to below $60, and there's no shortage of seats available for the eight matches slated to unfold at Hard Rock Stadium. It’s not every day the FIFA Club World Cup comes to town, but despite the buzz, ticket demand for the opening match in Miami has been underwhelming. In response, organizers have rolled out a surprise deal: college students can score tickets for just $20, plus up to four free guest passes, to watch Al Ahly FC take on Inter Miami. Even non-students are finding it easy to grab seats for a rare chance to experience what's known worldwide as "The Beautiful Game." Prices fluctuate a fair bit, as outlined by NBC Miami , with some peaking at $9,966, though many are significantly more wallet-friendly. FIFA’s push to fill the stadium for the Club World Cup opener in Miami hasn’t quite met the high expectations typically seen in soccer-mad environments. In an effort to draw crowds, organizers are offering steep ticket discounts that make the usually pricey experience surprisingly affordable. For fans, it’s a rare opportunity to catch top-tier soccer action without breaking the bank, as highlighted in the USATodaySports pitch.
