Lionel Messi is now the greatest goalscorer in World Cup history, and the numbers are genuinely staggering. Five goals in two games at the 2026 tournament.

A hat-trick against Algeria to equal the all-time record, then two more against Austria to break it. The legendary Inter Miami forward is writing a farewell that nobody wants to end.

Argentina are already through as Group J winners, and the knockout bracket is taking shape. So how much will it cost to witness Messi's last World Cup dance?

SeatPick has been tracking resale prices across Argentina's potential route all the way to the final in New Jersey. Here is what the secondary market looks like right now, game by game.

Argentina vs Jordan: Is the Group Stage Dead Rubber Worth Attending?

Argentina face Jordan in their final Group J game on 27 June in Dallas. Jordan are already eliminated, and Argentina are already confirmed as group winners. Scaloni is expected to rotate heavily, with Messi likely rested or given limited minutes ahead of the knockout rounds.

The market reflects the reduced stakes. The current get-in price is $1,499, with an average ticket at $2,743. Prices are coming down for this game and it's no surprise that this is the cheapest game on Argentina's potential route to the final.

For fans based in North America looking for the most affordable entry point to see Argentina in person, this is it. Just do not expect 90 minutes from the man himself.

Argentina vs Group H Runner-Up: The Round of 32 in Miami Is Already Expensive

Argentina's first knockout game takes place on 3 July at Miami Stadium (Hard Rock Stadium) in Miami. Their opponent will be the Group H runner-up. Spain are on course to win Group H, meaning Uruguay or Cape Verde are most likely to meet Argentina in this tie.

This is currently one of the priciest Round of 32 games on the schedule. Messi plays his club football at Inter Miami, just miles from this stadium, and local demand is enormous. The get-in price is currently $2,654, up 7.2% in three days, with an average ticket at $5,111.

If you are planning to be in Miami for this one, the data says the sooner you move, the better.

Argentina vs Portugal? The Quarter-Final in Kansas City Could Be a Historic Night

This is the game the football world has quietly been hoping for. If both nations progress as expected, the quarter-final on 11 July at Kansas City Stadium (Arrowhead Stadium) could bring Messi and Ronaldo face to face on the World Cup stage for the very first time.

Portugal started their World Cup campaign with a disappointing draw against DR Congo, but they are expected to advance from Group K, and the bracket draws Ronaldo's side onto a potential collision course with Argentina in the last eight.

The ticket market is already pricing in the possibility. The get-in price is $2,745, with an average seat at $7,026. SeatPick's data shows demand rising fast. A confirmed Messi vs Ronaldo quarter-final would almost certainly send these prices through the roof.

World Cup 2026 Final: The Price of History at MetLife Stadium

The World Cup Final takes place on 19 July at New York New Jersey Stadium (MetLife Stadium) in East Rutherford, New Jersey. It is the biggest single sporting event on the planet, and if Argentina are involved, this will transcend sport entirely.

The market knows all of this - and it's no wonder that prices are on the rise. The starting price for the final is $8,832, with an average resale ticket at $18,301. SeatPick forecasts that demand will push prices higher as the final teams are confirmed in the semi-finals.
