England fans have learned how much they will have to pay if they want to follow the Three Lions from their opening group stage match to the final - should the nation reach the last match of World Cup.

The World Cup draw put England in a group alongside Croatia, Panama and Ghana. Should they reach the final, they will play eight matches in total - three in the group stage, the round of 32, the round of 16, the quarter-final, the semi-final and then the final.

FIFA has already received widespread condemnation for the prices of World Cup match tickets. Even though they initially promised $60 tickets would be on sale, they are a very small percentage of the available tickets and they were all snapped up almost immediately.

Dynamic pricing is in place which means increased demand leads to increased prices. On FIFA's official resale platform, they are taking 15% commission from every single sale.

When the tickets initially went on sale, the group Football Supporters Europe released the below statement:

"We are astonished by the extortionate ticket prices imposed by FIFA on the most dedicated supporters for next year's World Cup.

"This is a monumental betrayal of the tradition of the World Cup, ignoring the contribution of fans to the spectacle it is.

"We call on FIFA to immediately halt PMA ticket sales, engage in a consultation with all impacted parties, and review ticket prices and category distribution until a solution that respects the tradition, universality, and cultural significance of the World Cup is found."

World Cup ticket prices for England fans

Over the eight potential matches, the lowest price an England fan can hope to pay is £164 for either the Panama or Ghana fixtures, which take place at the MetLife Stadium in New York/New Jersey and the Gillette Stadium in Boston, respectively.

If the Three Lions reach the World Cup final, the least they will pay is £3,120 and the most is around £6,471.

These prices are available to members of England Supporters Travel Club only.

Hotel prices soar in North America

The Athletic reports that the price of a hotel room in North America has increased by, on average, 328% since the World Cup draw was made last Friday.

The cities hosting games at the tournament will be Toronto, Vancouver, Guadalajara, Mexico City, Monterrey, Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, Houston, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Miami, New York/New Jersey, Philadelphia, Seattle and San Francisco all the report indicates that the prices for hotel rooms in all these locations have significantly increased.

The Athletic found that one particular hotel room in Mexico City is listed for $157 for May and then, during the tournament, $3,882 on the Marriott Bonvoy app, a 2,373% increase. The investigation was conducted on both the Marriott Bonvoy and Hilton Honors apps.

The average increase in Mexico City is 961% which is more than any other location.

Across the 96 hotels searched, the average per-night rate around an opening game was $1,013, compared to $293 for the same hotels a few weeks earlier.

The highest increase in the United States came in New York/New Jersey, Houston, Kansas City, Atlanta and San Francisco Bay Area.
