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

How do I ask to be seated next to another party? I'm ready to buy tickets to in the marketplace but I'm not seeing this option anywhere.

 

That’s what I’m doing. This is too time consuming and expensive. But I accept the possibility of missing out. I’ll visit my daughter in Seattle anyway.

 

Technically you can only have one account per person, but it’s not enforced. Just use a different email address. Credit card doesn’t matter.

For getting the fifth ticket, it might be best to wait to buy in the primary sale again (rather than resale). I think we’re all confident that you’ll be able to link primary purchases. Picking up one on resale should be an option later (at some price).

 

There is no option. Yet. Maybe theyll be one? We don’t know

 

Most of the attendants won't be buying tickets 8 months early. General public usually start buying tickets a month before the World Cup. We just have to see the draw happen and then the Federation tickets allotment immediately after. All other FIFA Sales Phase, we're familiar with. If we don't have large groups, it would be easy on score at least 50% of the desirable tickets. Maybe post draw, prices are down or slightly up????

Is there a link without the paywall?

 

There’s not much to it. Basically FIFA raised the prices somewhat for high demand matches such as the host country and knockout matches. Which we all already know.

 

Feels good to get such a bulk of my ticket done. Just need 4 tickets to M27 and M88 to finish it up.

 

Right, we know that. But I am happy to see press coverage of it, so I would like to read it. $1,607 for a 2022 Cat 1 final ticket, $7,875 now. SMH.

 

I have been to 5 straight World cup, saw over 10 games or more at each world cup. I have never been lucky enough to buy tickets early until after the draw. I got tickets to the final in Russia and Qatar on the day of the final from FIFA last minute sale! FIFA needs to find a way to recognize us real loyal fans and repeat customers!

 

If you already purchased tickets and you want to link your order to another order related to your friends or another account, you will have to use the below link


https://fwc26-shop-usd.tickets.fifa.com/q


Then click on ticket purchase history in the menu, click on see details, scroll down to the end of the page where you can notice the “sit together” section. And then assign your “order reference” number mentioned at the top of your invoice in the “ticket purchase number” box.

Once done, the first letters of the names of both accounts will be mentioned at the bottom of this box so that you can be sure that all went well.

I hope I answered your question

 

Crazy, right? Even though the price is above 10k, there are still people who buy it. They know about it and take advantage of it.
Hey Fifa, if you listening .... ...
don't squeeze fans out of their money.

 

So, is anything left from today?

 

Thanks so much! Following your link I was able to do it. For some reason the option was not appearing when I logged in following a different link.

 

There's plenty left. No finals or semis, but tickets for almost everything else are available.

 

It will be interesting to see if this WC is going to be like the last Euros or not after the federation ticket phase. I would think the extra matches will make some tickets be easier to obtain after that, but FCFS sales for the last Euros were really tough. Sometimes you had to break down for the Prime Seats in order to get in through UEFA until a couple of days before the match. With the bump in prices here, there may be tickets available, but they might make someone feel uncomfortable. Especially with it not being like the Euros where you could easily train to most venues.

 

any other canadians who didn't get tickets for canada's games yet thinking about getting a CanadaRed membership?

 

When do international slots begin? And will they be sending out a new batch of emails for international slot winners ?

 

Maybe someone asked this already but... we are expecting that there will be multiple windows to buy tickets in the next couple of weeks, correct? Just like last time?

 

Last year at this time I really thought buying a CanadaRed membership was way to go. They then changed the system and added an extra tier which was CanadaRedGold and cost $175 each. They indicated it gave an opportunity to buy Canada games at the World Cup. My friends and I bought 10 all together for $1750. They've since added multiple layers and tiers with one tier costing $5000 year.
Canada Soccer did a great job of marketing the memberships and now they have 10's of thousands sold. When we received an update a few months back they indicated that they get 8% of the ticket allotment for each CANADA only game and some of those went to sponsors and partners leaving about 4800 tickets per game for the Canada Red Tier members. There will now be a weighted lottery after the World Cup with the higher tier getting better chances. In other words, odds are very low to get selected and with the prices of tickets I'm not sure that's worth the investment.

 

There's this domestic one open now and then the international one early next week. Then, it is over until after the draw from what I gather when I'm sure we'll see the real dynamic pricing.

 

A distraction, Euro 28 schedule released yesterday. Simple travel vs WC26.

Already worked out my initial plan options.

 

Emails start today maybe, first time slots from 17th.

“Other Time Slots: Starting no earlier than November 13, 2025, persons who have been

selected as winners for Time Slots (other than the Domestic Exclusive Period) through

the drawing will be notified by email sent to the address associated with your FIFA

Ticketing Account. This email will set out the details of their allocated Time Slot. No Time

Slot will begin earlier than November 17, 2025. Email notifications to winners will be sent

no later than forty-eight (48) hours before the beginning of their allocated Time Slot.”
