Tickets for the FIFA Club World Cup play-offs and final have now gone on sale, with organisers utilising dynamic pricing.

The tournament is set to run from June 14 to July 13 this year in the US.

Prices for general public tickets for the play-offs begin at $50 (£41/€48) according to the governing body, while the cheapest available ticket for the final is currently $613.25.

FIFA revealed in December that dynamic pricing would be deployed for the new-look Club World Cup.

“Fans should become part of this tournament, because after well over a century of club football, or club soccer, we are set for the first, the first, truly global and merit-based FIFA Club World Cup, and those who buy a ticket, well they will be part of football history, part of soccer history, if you want,” said FIFA president, Gianni Infantino.

“It’s true that the most successful clubs in the world have already played matches in the United States. However, this will be the very first time that the world’s very best clubs contest for real silverware on US soil in a true tournament format – and it’s not clubs competing for just any silverware, but rather the most coveted trophy in club football.”

FIFA has reserved a quota of tickets for supporters of the clubs playing in each match.

This year’s tournament is the 21st edition of the event but it is the first to be played with a new and expanded format.

A total of 32 teams from six continents will play before the winner is crowned at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
