The FIFA World Cup is one of the biggest sporting events in the world, so it is no wonder that tickets for the matches are hard to come by. A category one (highest level) ticket for the opening match of the 2018 World Cup in Russia would have set you back 550 U.S. dollars, whilst the top range tickets for the final cost a whopping 1,100 U.S. dollars.

France emerge victorious in front of a big crowd

The final of the 2018 World Cup was contested between Croatia and France, with the latter emerging victorious after an entertaining 4-2 victory. This marked France’s second success at the World Cup following their victory at their home tournament in 1998. The 2018 final was played at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow, which had an official capacity of 80,000, making it the largest stadium at the 2018 World Cup, as well as being the largest soccer stadium in Russia. The official attendance at the final was recorded as 78,011, with the restricted number owing to FIFA regulations and crowd safety.

Fans flock to see the biggest prize in soccer

The average attendance per game at the 2018 World Cup was recorded as 47,371, the lowest figure since the 2002 World Cup in Japan and South Korea. The record for the largest average attendance ever at the World Cup is held by the USA’s 1994 World Cup, at which an average of 68,626 fans watched each game live. The final of the 1994 World Cup was held at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California. Over 94 thousand spectators watched Brazil beat Italy to claim their fourth World Cup title after a dramatic penalty shootout.
