The U.S. men’s national team will take on Bosnia & Herzegovina in the World Cup round of 32 on Wednesday night at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., a highly-anticipated match-up between a confident American side and a physical, scrappy Bosnian team.
The Stars and Stripes punched their ticket to the knockout stage game back on July 19, after two victories over Paraguay and Australia crowned them the winners of Group D. The U.S. still had a group stage match left to play and didn’t even know yet who it would face in the round of 32; nevertheless, ticket prices for the Santa Clara match soared, jumping to over $3,000—in some cases, even up $4,500—on FIFA’s platform as well as on third-party ticket sites like StubHub and SeatGeek.
