How much are World Cup final tickets?

According to FIFA, the tickets for the final back in 2022 ranged in price from $380 for a Category 4 obstructed view seat to $5,850 for a Category 1 individual match ticket for the final.
MetLife Stadium getting a name change
MetLife Stadium will have a name change for the duration of the tournament. It will be known as "New York New Jersey Stadium" throughout the tournament.

So stadiums for those events are typically given a generic name, based on their location.
