Buying from FIFA's official platform has been a hot mess, but there are still tickets available via reputable resale platforms, which have proven to be the most reliable options over the last few weeks for anyone wanting to know where to buy World Cup tickets.As you can imagine, the prices for the final of Argentina vs. Spain are very high, with the lowest get-in prices starting at over $8,000. The third-place playoff, or bronze medal match, if you will, between England and France is much more affordable, though I've seen prices as low as $634. Ok, that's not cheap by any stretch of the imagination, but anything under $1000 so late in the tournament is rare.Your best options today are resale marketplace platforms like StubHub and Vivid Seats, both of which are reliable sites we've used for years for other sporting events and live music.

Don't leave things to chance a few hours before kickoff, as I've generally seen tickets disappear by then for most games (despite there clearly being empty seats on TV).
