From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Tickets are still available for as many as 20 World Cup 2018 games in Russia just 24 hours before the tournament kicks off, including for England’s opening game against Tunisia.
Russia’s opening game against Saudi Arabia at the Luzhniki Stadium only sold out on Tuesday, while tickets remain for two of the three pricing categories for the Three Lions’ game on Monday in Volgograd.
120,000 extra tickets were released for the finals only last week, which Fifa insist is the reason for the large number of unsold seats and not as a result of a lack of public interest.
The tickets available for the England vs Tunisia game cost about £157 and £123 according to Fifa’s website, although the availability is “low”. The ticket sales website will remain open until the day of the final on 15th July.
Tickets are also available for lower-profile matches, including Egypt vs Saudi Arabia in the same stadium on 25th June.
Other games still with tickets remaining include Colombia v Japan, Panama v Tunisia (both in Saransk), Nigeria v Iceland in Volgograd and Croatia v Nigeria in Kaliningrad.
