Who will the paying public see hoist the trophy on Saturday?

Tickets for Saturday's World Cup final are already changing hands for more that £3,000 ($6,100), according to the chief executive of an online exchange.

England's surprise 14-9 semi-final victory over France has seen a surge in demand for the Stade de France showpiece, with supporters desperate to be among the 80,000 spectators in Paris.

Eric Baker, founder and CEO of viagogo, revealed that prices soared the moment the final whistle was blown in the first semi-final.

"We saw on Saturday night, literally the moment the clock stops in injury-time, boom, we could see people buying and selling tickets immediately," Baker told PA Sport.

"For the final, there are still some bargains available where people are selling for as little as £500 [$1,020] and there are some other seats in really prime locations that are going for north of £3,000."

"This event, with England having won on Saturday night, is the hottest ticket we have seen in the last two years quite frankly."
