The FIFA Club World Cup has been a source of great debate in the soccer world regarding its meaning, importance and general worthwhileness.

But there is one thing about it as the first semifinal approaches on Tuesday that is beyond dispute: It is a bargain relative to most world-class soccer.

Because FIFA has used a dynamic pricing model and because demand for many games has been soft, some shocking ticket offerings have resulted.

Exhibit A is Tuesday’s 3 p.m. semifinal at MetLife Stadium between Fluminense of Brazil and Chelsea, a famous brand from the storied English Premier League.

What began as prices in the hundreds of dollars even for the cheapest seats had dropped to $13.40 by Saturday night. By Sunday, they still were a mere $22.30

On Monday morning, the least expensive verified resale seat had risen to $45.23 through FIFA’s ticketing partner, Ticketmaster. StubHub had seats for $42.

Prices for the second semifinal, between Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid at MetLife on Wednesday, also have fallen from early highs. But the showdown between the past two Champions League winners is a far bigger draw than Chelsea-Fluminense.

The least expensive tickets for the second semifinal were $199.60 as of Monday morning.

Real Madrid has been the most consistent draw throughout the tournament and attracted a crowd of 76,611 to MetLife for a Saturday quarterfinal against Borussia Dortmund.

But some matchups have been unpopular with fans, to the point that FIFA dropped prices for Friday quarterfinals in Orlando and Philadelphia to as low as $11.

In a dynamic pricing system, ticket costs fluctuate in real time based on demand, or lack thereof.

This is the first Club World Cup in the current format, and there will be plenty of discussion when it is over about what it meant in both soccer and business terms.

But one thing is certain: Late-round tickets for the traditional, national-team World Cup next June and July will be more expensive.

The final for that tournament, like the final for the current one on Sunday, will be held at MetLife Stadium.

As of Monday, the lowest price for a standard admission ticket to this weekend’s final was $328.96. Tickets to next July’s final likely will command prices with a zero attached to that $328, and beyond.
