Price history and when to buy
Based on price patterns from previous World Cup Finals (Qatar 2022, Russia 2018), a clear pattern emerges:
- Prices are lowest now - before the tournament starts, when buyers are uncertain which teams will reach the Final
- First big spike: June 11 (tournament opens) - general excitement drives prices up 15-30%
- Second big spike: Semi-final results (July 14-15) - prices can double overnight when popular nations advance
- Match week: some sellers lower prices in final days, but supply is very limited by then
The safest buying window is now, before the tournament starts.
