Touts are selling tickets for England's crucial World Cup knockout match against Colombia for more than five times the face value.
Three Lions' fans risk paying huge sums in a scramble for tickets as interest among stay-at-home fans in joining the World Cup party picked up.
Despite FIFA filing a criminal complaint against Viagogo, tickets listed on the website for Tuesday's last 16 appeared to be selling fast, with category three tickets - the lowest category available to non-Russians - going for nearly PS360 ($A642) when the official FIFA price lists them as PS83.
Category one tickets, the highest available, are set at about PS177 but were on sale for PS513 through the website - meaning fans could pay PS336, or three times, more than face value.
Other sites, such as ticketbazaar.co.uk, were offering tickets for Tuesday's match for up to PS870 for category one and PS487 for category three.
Social media also proved a fertile ground for touts to sell and trade tickets, with one user offering England fans on Facebook tickets for $US700 ($A945) for category three and $US900 .
The seller claimed to have 40 tickets available for the game in a WhatsApp message to the Press Association.
Football's world governing body has warned it will cancel any tickets that are found to have been bought through unauthorised sellers.
A loophole in the Fan ID system, which also acts as a visa to enter Russia, means fans can use any ticket reference number to register regardless of whether they have a valid ticket or not.
UK police have warned England fans thinking of travelling to plan ahead by sorting their ticket and accommodation before they arrive in Russia.
