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

For those interested it has just been announced by the FA in England that tickets for Euro 28 will NOT be subject to dynamic pricing.

 

Could someone with time and access let us know what the current situation of availability is please in terms of cats. and groups knock out game etc.

 

And hosts won't be automatically qualified! Beautiful

 

Not all 5 hosts, but: “Two spots in the final tournament will be reserved for the two best-ranked host nations who are not qualified as group winners or best runners-up after the completion of the qualifying group stage.”

 

As of 6:23 AM Eastern Time

I have a feeling that prices are going to drop and Seat categories are going to get recut pretty dramatically.
We shall see....

 

So England are all but guaranteed a spot.

 

Ticket pricing for EURO24 felt so high at the time outside of CAT3 and FF. Whatever happens 2028 prices will be fantastic compared to World Cup 2026!

England are a cert and so there will be 3, maybe 4 Hosts qualifying, as I’d expect at least one other to nab a best 8 runner up, plus the playoffs if all else fails.


It’s not in UEFA’s interests not to maximise the opportunity for the Host nations.

 

Any M27 or M51 left? CAT3?

 

Everything for all games hosted in Canada (not just host) were gone within three hours yesterday.

I still want to know who is buying these Cat 1's for M3. ~$3K to stand lower level behind the goal compared to $42 tonight (still too high imo) for Canada/Ecuador.

 

not sure whats worse.. 3k for lower bowl, 1k for scaffolding on lake shore side, or CanadaRed pricing

 

I have spent more time thinking about it than I should over the past couple of months and its truly all bad

Cat 1: ~3K for the non-hospitality lower bowls (ie behind the goals, and 50/50 that's a temp stand in the north end)
Cat 2: ~2K to sit at the absolute top of the upper level (probably in a corner)
Cat 3: ~1.2K to sit in temp seats that are not constructed yet
Cat 4: ~$500 to sit in temp seats that are not constructed yet and will be literally behind the roof

At least they will make up for it by presumably building zero additional infrastructure (toilets etc) like they didn't in 2016 so you'll miss 25% of the game when you need to pee.

 

Thank you for sending this through. All understanable except surprised M5 and M9 not available! Is this because it is the first game at these venues? As if that is going to make a great difference. Neither venue sold out quickly in the VISA stage.

 

Does the tens and thousands sold include all price tiers? Im thinking of getting the $500 or even the $1000 one, it would still be cheaper than the RTBs at their current price. But if i still dont get any tickets with buying those then that'd be very horrible

 

To add onto this, there are about 20 Group Stage matches that do not say Limited Availability or Not Available. I didn't click into every one, but probably looked at around 10 and that means usually Cat 1 and sometimes Cat 2 available. Only thing that looks to have Cat 3 is the first US match (checked Houston and KC since they had tickets lingering in the Visa Presale and didn't see Cat 3 in my sample). Limited Availability sometimes meant Cat 1 or wheelchair only, so the ones that have the latter are basically sold out.

4 games in the round of 32 are green and have Cat 1 and Cat 2 where only the Seattle one has Cat 2 only. The Houston and Seattle R16 matches are the only ones with higher availability. Houston is Cat 1 and Cat 2 and Seattle is Cat 2 only. The Philly and Dallas R16 matches (of a couple more I looked at) are Limited Availability where Cat 1 is left for Philly and Dallas only has wheelchair access.

The Boston QF only has wheelchair. The Miami one is limited Cat 1 only. The LA QF is limited Cat 2 only. KC QF is more widely available at Cat 1 and 2 only. The third placed match is Cat 1 only, but doesn't show limited availability.

 

When is it the non domestic emails are to start going out?

 

It is vague but would imagine any time from this afternoon though more likely tomorrow.

 

I will say for the domestic availability, the e-mail was already sent by now the day it went out. Not saying they'll do the same, but just FYI.

 

Are the current prices the same as these below?

 

I was able to get tickets in the visa presale. If I hadn’t been successful, I was looking at Canada Red, but as has been noted it is over-subscribed. I played around with chatgpt to walk through various scenarios, and based on the number of members, it looked like the $500 tier was the best option to have a high chance of securing tickets. This is quite pricey and obviously no guarantee. In the past, those who were persistent (and had time to spend monitoring the sales portal) have been able to nab tickets in the first-come-first-served phase closer to the tournament,

 

Yeah that seems about right, my prices are in CAD though so ~1.4/1.5x

Yeah not exactly scientific but I know a bunch of people who I would not consider 'die-hards' with the $150 membership, so I can only project that outwards and assume that one is overbought at this point.

I ran the numbers somewhere either here or on the CSN forums at one point, but you're looking at 3,600-4,000 tickets available for each game (8% of 'sellable' tickets), so dividing that into the seven draws that will occur, and then further dividing that by assuming that each winner takes four tickets (the max federation tix per game has always been the same as the max normal tix per game), you're looking at ~130-150 "winners" per draw, per game.

The tl;dr is the odds really are not in anyone's favour if they aren't in the Icon Tier, which is pretty grim.

 

Only had time to check two matches, but the first USA match and M22 in Dallas show those prices.

 

Has anyone managed to find any resale bargains? Asking people (like myself) who haven’t had access to any sales so far? Any under $200 for any matches or are they all $300+? I got a couple in Philly for just over $300 which I’m happy with. Haven’t seen any under $300 myself

 

Almost definitely going. Germany was amazing last year

 

Reckon it will be harder to get tickets, considering people not going to the US and also England being England?
