The latest installment in the USA-Mexico rivalry will be written on Friday in Columbus, OH. The two countries clash at Mapfre Stadium for their 2018 FIFA World Cup Qualifier, and they'll be bringing record-setting ticket demand with them to the secondary market.

Credit that notable ticket demand to the USA's past success against El Tri in Ohio (winning by a 2-0 score in each of the last three matches there), or the big implications that come with a victory on Friday. On TicketIQ, USA vs Mexico tickets currently own a resale average of $347.66, more than 30 percent higher than the two countries' CONCACAF Cup match in October of 2015 ($266.62 average).
