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

Onsale starts tomorrow

 

Yes they offered Cat 3 for those who bought 2-pack tickets at the CWC as well. Prices were in line with the higher prices leaked earlier.

 

CWC Ticket Pack holders have early access to the sale (began one hour ago). Only matches in the US were made available, and people are reporting most matches had full category availability and prices that are close to what they were at the end of the Visa pre-sale.

 

I tried to log back in but it's already showing as sold out. Not sure if that's a message I only see because I already converted my RTBs from attending the Club World Cup (logged in as soon as today's window opened or because it's genuinely sold out. Maybe others with RTBs can still do their conversions.

 

Congrats man nicely done in the end. That's a dream result

 

Nothing yet. Running out of days here.

 

So they raised the prices again for RTB people? That sucks. $7,000 for a pair of tickets way up high behind the goal, plus what you had to pay for RTB? What a ripoff.

Upshot is parking might be pricey.

 

Dream result? Paying $10K or more including RTB costs for a pair of tickets way up in the corners? The same tickets that would have cost just over $1K less than 3 years ago. FIFA’s marketing is genius. They’ve got you believing that paying an extra $9K is a “dream result.”

 

The user has been pretty vocal for awhile about their fears for being forced to redeem their purchase of a 2026 Final ticket that they earned through completing the conditions of the CWC Super Ticket Pack at CAT1 prices. So it seemed like this was a win for them.

 

yup. Their gaslighting worked like a charm, lol

 

That's cheap. Superbowl parking is routinely $500-$1000. Even a decent college game costs way more than that

possibly dumb question ahead of tmrrw... my understanding from reading here is we can only buy 1 ticket at a time? So if i want 4 tickets to, for ex M33.. i need to do it 4 times? Maybe I misunderstood?

 

Newsflash: The major US cities are expensive places to live and visit. Just wait until they see the beer prices.

The article even admits that the listed parking prices are comparable to other major stadium events in the US. And that there’s likely to be more (cheaper) parking options at most stadiums available later. So what’s their point exactly? Just another hit piece.

And comparing match ticket prices to parking? Apples to oranges. Besides, there’s a good chance you’ll be able to get into the stadium for under $100 for at least a few group stage matches when all is said and done.

 

wait until they realize parking prices will also be dynamic. You'll be seeing $250 - $500 parking prices by kickoff. And the lots will be full.

 

No, you can select and buy up to 4 tickets per game, up to 40 total on the standard Sale site.
The one ticket limit is on the Resale site only though technically you can have 4 tickets for the same game in your cart but you can select only one ticket at a time. From experience fiddling around with the site, the 4 tickets will be at different prices.

 

If anyone won the domestic round and are planning to buy tickets tomorrow. Can someone buy me 1 ticket to the opening Philadelphia game? CAT does not matter to me. DM me if that's easier, thanks

 

“No ragrets.”

 

What if someone decides to buy single tickets to 12 individual games on different days? I was of the opinion that 4 max per game or 10 games max was the limit, can't exceed any one of the limits. Is that how it is?

 

I did not read anything about the 10 games max. rule.
• This is what the FIFA FAQ says:
What is the maximum number of FIFA World Cup 26™ tickets I can purchase?
Sales restrictions are limited to four tickets per match and a total of 40 tickets for the tournament per household. All ticket purchases linked to the same address in your FIFA ticketing account will count towards the household limit.
• This is what the legal document reads:
Each Household may hold no more than of four (4) Tickets per Match, and no more than
forty (40) Tickets in the aggregate for the Competition. These maximum quantities refer to
the aggregate of all Tickets obtained by a Household, whether purchased on the Ticketing
Website, resale Tickets purchased on the Marketplace or elsewhere, or received through a
transfer. FIFA Ticketing establishes limits on the number of Tickets in order to prevent unfair
and/or illegal ticketing activities, and to ensure that as many football fans as possible have
the opportunity to attend Matches. A “Household” is defined by the address identified in
your Ticketing Account. You are solely responsible for ensuring that the foregoing
Household restriction is not exceeded.

 

Maybe someone has put this on before or you all have copies but useful list of new prices found on Reddit. (Useful and Reddit do not always appear in the same sentence)

Will they bump up the price of public transport?

Tailgating is a part of US culture. I didn't realise people would spend a fortune for the best spots but that isn't a cost visiting supporters will pay. The price of beer. I expect that will shock many.

 

Tailgating is a part of US culture, football isn't ... perfect fit

 

High demand for tickets is expected and FIFA are capitalising for 2026 with this new pricing system. You can argue that the higher prices make sense because of said demand. However one thing that proves that FIFA are ripping people off is this. How can parking be $75 for a group match but $175 for the semi final? It’s going to be full both times so this is absolute proof that FIFA are effectively scamming people for another $100. Just because the semi final ticket holders are going to a bigger match doesn’t mean they deserve to be ripped off:

A "general parking" pass for the 14 July semi-final in Dallas was listed at $175, while the price for parking at a group-stage match was listed at $75.
