The Three Lions booked a date with the co-hosts at the Estadio Azteca with a 2-1 victory over DR Congo on Wednesday. The game, which kicks off at 01:00 BST on Monday, will be broadcast live on BBC One. Fixtures in Mexico City have resulted in some of the highest resale prices, coupled with low supply, throughout the tournament, with home supporters eager to watch their team in action.
Before the draw in December, the England Supporters' Travel Club was given an allocation of 4,000 tickets for the match at the 80,824 stadium. All were sold at the ballot stage in January and no further tickets will be issued by Fifa so resale sites are the only way for fans to now get into the game. Before England's match against DR Congo kicked off only 250 tickets were listed, which went up slightly after the game to 273.
But overnight the number rose to 429, with many tickets listed in the supporter value categories behind one of the goals. World Cup dreams shattered as StubHub tickets cancelled at last minute
