SPO:Socceroos followers face ticket price hike for US clash

Ticket prices are rocketing for Australia's second World Cup group stage match, against co-hosts United States.

Prices have soared on the resale market after the Americans thrashed Paraguay 4-1 in their opening match, with Socceroos followers hoping to see their side take on the hosts now facing a premium on ticket costs.

According to TicketData, an independent ticket pricing tracker, they start at $2,463 (US$1,735), a 61 per cent increase over the last three days, with much of that spike coming following the Americans' runaway victory in Los Angeles.

There is plenty of ‌time for the ‌price to ⁠climb further, as the match is not until Friday in Seattle.

The Americans' Group D finale, on June 25 against Turkey back in Los Angeles., has seen an even greater proportional spike over the same stretch, with the 'get-in' price up 73 per cent to $2,152 (US$1,516).
