The Club World Cup, by hook or by crook, seems destined to be FIFA’s ‘other’ showpiece event, with the biggest teams from around the globe clashing on a scale not seen previously. It is not yet clear how the tournament is performing in terms of streaming attention, but it has failed to grab the imagination of the local crowd in the United States.
FIFA implemented dynamic pricing for the Club World Cup, presumably hoping the tickets would be snapped up. However that has not been the case, and with the quarter-finals this Friday and Saturday, tickets can be obtained for as little as $11.15 (€9.45).
Empty stadiums have been a familiar sight throughout the tournament, and The Athletic report that the above price is the cheapest available for Al-Hilal’s clash with Fluminense in Orlando. To see Chelsea against Palmeiras, fans can pop along for just $22.30 (€18.91).
The headline clash is Bayern Munich against Paris Saint-Germain. Despite prices for that clash beginning at $500 (€423.93) in January, fans can now see the game for as little as $44.60 (€37.81).
One of the few sides that has been well-attended are Real Madrid. Los Blancos appear to have sufficient fanbase to fill stadiums wherever they go, and all four of their matches have seen attendances above 60,000. The cheapest tickets to see Xabi Alonso’s outfit on Saturday against Borussia Dortmund are at $128 (€108.53), more in line with prices back in the Spanish capital. Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois recently defended the importance of the tournament.
FIFA committed well over $50m (€42.4m) in marketing to the Club World Cup, but in recent games have been donating tickets to veterans and community groups related to football. Even so, the cheapest tickets for Real Madrid’s potential semi-final is at $978 (€829.20), while the first semi-final is at $473.90 (€401.80), and the final is priced at $892 (€756.29).
Despite the underwhelming demand for tickets compared to FIFA expectations, El Chiringuito are reporting that FIFA President Gianni Infantino is keen to hold the tournament once every two years, rather than the every four years. This would continue to cause havoc with the football schedule, with Real Madrid barely able to fit in sufficient rest and a preseason before the beginning of La Liga.

How can it is called Club World Cup when the champions of England and Spain are not in it? It is just another watered-down event hoping to make money and nothing else. In terms of entertaining values, I would be hard to give it more than 3/10.
Stupid, it is every 4 years, you have to have been the best for the past four years to be qualified. Liverpool and barca have been ass the last four years. Winning a domestic league doesn’t make a difference. You have to be a champion of Europe or be close in the last 4 years to qualify. Do you guys even read the rules of the tournament. Smh.

even though we're broke. even though we dont reside in the royal city. even though we dont fund tv channels to scare refs. even though our academy isn't as good as we thought. even though Messi isn't the goat. even though yamal talks too much. even though we cant do anything right, we still scare you on the pitch. we still beat you. we are still your biggest opponent. the ones who makes you do numerous things off the pitch for a chance to beat us on the pitch. the ones who constantly make you guys feel like spending all that money was for nothing. the one you dont want to play. visca el barca

so fans have to pay more than 3x of PSG vs baryern tickets fee for them to watch real Madrid take on B. Dortmund. real Madrid games are the only matches with more than 60,000 fans in the stadium, now you can see one of the reasons why Madrid is the biggest football club in the world,no one even come close. it's not about being good for 2 or 3 seasons, it's about consistency.... form is temporary, class is permanent....

Funny how no one is taking about what a big failure this tournament has being and the major reason for that is because it is in the US. FIFA completely miscalculated trying to stage a maiden football tournament on a nation lest interested in football.

Should not held the competition in USA. They don't care about football there plus immigration rules limiting real fans from attending
