With teams like Germany, Portugal, and Croatia, and legendary players like Cristiano Ronaldo, Luka Modric, and Toni Kroos possibly making their last appearances, ticket prices are expected to rise significantly. Prices will skyrocket as the tournament nears the semi-finals and finals, the closer the date the higher the prices will get. These matches, being part of a globally watched event that happens only every four years, create a massive buzz and drastically increase ticket prices as the big games approach. This kind of fan spending behavior is super valuable for us to understand, especially when planning how to engage audiences in sports and entertainment in the future.
