Atlanta currently tops the list with 5,414 tickets still available across group-stage matches, followed by Philadelphia (4,402), Los Angeles (4,230) and the San Francisco Bay Area (4,217).

Mexico City currently has just 11 tickets remaining across tracked fixtures, while Monterrey has only five. Even Guadalajara—Mexico’s loosest market—remains significantly tighter than most U.S. host cities.

Several matches in Mexico were showing single-digit ticket availability, with some games listing only one or two seats remaining.
