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

So how come some not get selected? FIFAs waiting for what ?

 

They're trying to support the price

 

On this thread there were people from Japan and England I believe saying they got $60 tickets from their association. It appears the US federation is being much slower than others about it

 

Don't know... speculators?

 

By leaving an order unfilled instead of filling it?

 

M4 is too expensive. So FIFA is intentionally NOT selling at current high prices hoping they can sell higher later? I don’t see it. Sorry

 

Gotta have something to dump in fcfs. A lot of fomo buys in the last phases

 

If they sell too much now, it could flood the marketplace with too much supply.

 

It's a host team opener; it should be high demand. The only question is how much of the demand got scared away by the opener price surcharge. It scared me away; I did not apply for it purely because of the price

 

Sure. But demand is, by definition, a function of price. My statement is at the current prices.

 

Why does fifa care that the marketplace crashes? If They’ve already offloaded all the inventory really high! You’re assuming they’d rather make 30% than 100%

 

my point was they want to be able to keep charging over $1k for the US opener for as many more sales as they have …

 

So should we assume that our FIFA profile won't actually show the tickets they said we got in the email until they process the payment on the 9th? Does anyone actually see tickets in their profile?

 

You, me, and probably 95% of people who normally might buy tickets to that match if the prices weren’t so ridiculous. Even in these crazy times, very few people are willing to pay $2K or $3K to watch the USA play Paraguay in a group match.

 

FIFA World Cup fever drives 160 % jump in Australian searches for US host cities

The opponent was largely irrelevant to my interest in attending, but I couldn't get over the price, especially since I can go to a different US group stage match in the same stadium at a lower price.

 

That price has to come down to around $500 max. There is no way they fill Sofi at current price. I don’t see it. Only if Kayne and Taylor swift perform a duo … maybe they can sell it at $1000.

 

People on Facebook have been selling Tunisia v Japan cat 1 for FIFA price if you're interested in that one

 

Tried to catch up on the thread and it seems like no one has been able to see Random Draw tickets using the different hack methods and no one has received a successfull application email for the random draw. Is that correct ?

 

Curious if anyone has seen someone who had no tickets when checking last night but got some todsy. Wondering if there is still more releases basically or if we are certified oven roasted cooked

 

As someone who's been pouring over reddit, facebook, whatsapp and a few forums over the past few days, this is the latest:

• Fifa indicated that draw results would be released no earlier than February 5th - when no one got emails on that date, everyone got anxious
• People figured out a "hack" to see files in their Fifa accounts that supposedly showed if they won tickets; there are some reports of people seeing tickets that they applied for in random draw
• Above hack seems to be accurate, as people (including myself) reported receiving confirmation emails earlier today (at around 2pm ET) confirming those tickets
• Most, if not all of the confirmation emails seem to be for PMA applications, and not the random draw
• General consensus seems to be that PMA draw has been completed, and random draw is still to come
• It's unclear what approach Fifa is using for the random draw - if they're going match by match, category by category, etc.

 

They patched the backdoor. And only emails received are for PMA

 

Thank you @marianelah

 

I so want to believe this!

 

Have people received PMA emails that say "no tickets for you" or have they just been for those who have at least one successful draw?
