After the get-in price dropped as low as $6,636 (Tk 8,17,766) on Monday, the three-day average rebounded to $7,612 (Tk 9,38,040) by Friday morning, according to ticket-tracking service TicketData.com. The three-day average is now up 10 percent.

By comparison, the get-in price for Argentina's semifinal victory over England settled at $3,177 (Tk 3,91,507) by kickoff, while France's win over Spain commanded less than half that at $1,315 (Tk 1,62,050).

Sunday's final will kick off at 3:00 PM local time, between a pair of global powerhouses. It will conclude the largest World Cup in history, with the White House confirming that President Donald Trump will attend.

The get-in price for tickets to the final peaked at $13,650 (Tk 16,82,113) back in October before dipping as low as $6,336 (Tk 7,80,796) a month later.
