World Cup tickets are being listed on the secondary market for as little as $15.48, 89 percent below face value, as soccer fans snub games outside Brazil’s southern cities.

The cheapest access to a game on Viagogo is for a ticket to the June 24 game between Greece and Ivory Coast at Fortaleza’s Castelao stadium, which has a face value of $135. Tickets to see three-time champion Germany at the same venue in northeastern Brazil are available at 44 percent below face value.
