The United States would have played in the game if it had\u00a0won earlier this week.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Before the United States&#8217; loss on Monday, the cheapest ticket hovered around $3,200 on TickPick. Prices have dropped significantly since then, to $1,100 for the afternoon game in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n<div class=\"max-md:faux-bleed mb-4 bg-accent\/2 pb-5 md:invisible md:mb-0 md:h-0 md:overflow-hidden md:pb-0\">\n<div class=\"py-2 text-center text-xs uppercase\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-nowrap justify-center\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">As for Mexico,\u00a0their loss on Sunday\u00a0against England sent prices down 45%, TickPick said. Prices for the cheapest tickets were nearly $4,000 but have since declined to $2,000 for Saturday&#8217;s showdown in Miami.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"rounded-lg\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/lo\/mysterio\/api\/4212ec223f017273683d71adf5e2beedd24437a4b8fc83472477f9717f5c62fc\/lightyear_networkapi\/resizefill_w960;quality_80;format_webp\/https:%2F%2Fmedia.zenfs.com%2Fen%2Fcnn_business_articles_218%2Fa501e972d23afaf1fff075f30345385a\" alt=\"Fans of Mexico react during the broadcast of the match between Mexico and England. - Lucia Flores\/Getty Images\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" data-nimg=\"1\" \/><button class=\"group absolute bottom-0 size-full\" aria-label=\"View larger image\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\" data-rapid_p=\"9\" data-y-link-id=\"0ag5k1m1w93ivj1qmy0m\"><\/button><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<div>Fans of Mexico react during the broadcast of the match between Mexico and England. &#8211; Lucia Flores\/Getty Images<\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;Quarterfinal tickets were priced with the expectation that both Mexico and the US would advance,&#8221; Brett Goldberg, TickPick co-CEO, told CNN. &#8220;When they lost on back-to-back days in the Round of 16, there was an immediate and significant drop in demand for their respective quarterfinal matchup.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"mb-4\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Canada was also eliminated last week, meaning all three host countries are out of the World Cup.
