Going to North America '26: tickets, accommodations, etc. (non-politics)

I believe this is what was discussed earlier on the forum. If person A bought four tickets to M22 and wants to transfer one ticket to person B — who doesn’t have any tickets on their FIFA account and hasn’t added any banking or card information — then if person B receives the ticket and later decides to list it on the resale platform, how would they receive the money once it’s sold?

 

For those attending all USA matches, do you recommend driving? Would that be doable?

 

Yeah, I am familiar with planes being faster than cars .

I'm weighing my options to improvise depending on the result of the draw. We are a party of 8 and (probably you didn't check this) but as of today, RT Houston Monterrey is over $900 ...without luggage

 

I'm also very interested in some tips on ground transportation. For those of you who know the area, is it safe to drive from Monterrey to Mexico City? Any particular advice about the journey?

 

if you do not live thousand miles away, definitely

 

Avoid driving like that in Mexico if you can.

 

Cost wise? yeah I understand then. Is the drive safe/fine? Yes. It would be a mind numbing drive but otherwise fine.

 

I have taken a rental car into Canada from the U.S. before. However i believe it is very difficult to take one into Mexico. I'm sure others can confirm.

 

what days are you looking at? MTY and HOU seems to share a lot of matchdays sadly.

 

Thanks!!

 

I do. I'm in Tampa. I was thinking flying into L.A. and then renting a car to go up to Seattle and then back down to L.A. again.

 

Exactly. I am planning different scenarios for the draw. If Argentina falls into group f, then it will play between Houston -;Dallas and Monterrey, so probably that would save me the bucks we all be spending in tickets, apparently

 

Oh I would not worry about that in the slightest.

There is no way FIFA is putting Argentina in Mexico. They are not 'wasting' Argentina's selling power on a game in Mexico. I know you have to think about everything but that would be insanely low on my list.

 

You can rent a camper van. They have them at most major airports. I guess it depends what matches youd like to attend.

 

Exactly. Argentina is going to Miami.

 

I don't believe they will fix the draw to send Argentina to Miami. If they are drawn in H, C or K then yes they will likely end up there.

 

I'm definitely doing the road trip. Full week between games, one of the country's most beautiful drives between LA/Seattle/LA with great stops in between.

Flights are super easy and cheap as well but the drive is good for those that want a good road trip.

 

From US into Mexico is easy.. and if traffic isn't too backed up (and your documents are in order) then coming from Mex to US isnt bad.

 

You need to get additional rental insurance for Mexico, only certain rental locations, usually in Southern States provide this and allow their vehicles across the border and some limit how far you can drive into Mexico....but it can be done with a bit of homework.

Plus the extra safety considerations, depending where you are going, compared to driving around the US.

 

It's really not bad at all especially going into Mex from US from Texas border crossing from a wait time perspective. It flows pretty smooth.

 

Good call.. though the border guards aren't checking the car rental insurance, its the car rental companies that will want you to have it.

 

I wouldn't worry at all about safety. There's literally millions of people driving those routes and its fine. I've driven in alot of parts of Mex and never once felt unsafe.

 

Safe, long, mostly boring. But man.. you'd be missing it if you didnt stop in San Miguel de Allende or Guanajauto along the way. Absolutely fantastic colonial towns.

 

Yes, what does that look like?

I keep checking everyday, but I guess I was not selected.

 

Anyone in?
