Tickets are still available – yes, still available – for next month’s Finley Stadium sold-out match between Costa Rica and the World Cup-winning U.S. women’s national soccer team.

Just go to Stubhub.com.

Then, to your bank, for a second mortgage.

“Within 10 rows of field,” one ticket offer announces. “$435.81.”

That’s for one ticket. Other tickets are pushing $500 apiece. Some tickets are selling at seven times the original face value. A few tickets are going for nearly $1,000.
