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

I did. Almost right away.

 

My family's two USA PMA Draw applications each sought 2 tickets to 6 matches. One got 3 of 6 the other got 2 of 6 matches. (Keepers Circle level)

 

But you have to buy everything you are awarded (or none at all) Cant just decide to keep 1 match

 

Mind sharing what the subject/body said? I also submitted a lottery app for it, got nothing but the success page when I clicked Submit. No email confirming my entry.

 

yeah I was wondering whether the us soccer draw would be different but I guess not

 

Are you sure? I don’t think there is one. Just a confirmation page.

 

The main difference seems to be that the draw is done match by match, rather than all at once. So all else equal, you're more likely to get at least one match but less likely to get everything you applied for.

 

Did you use this platform in the past ? Is this not run through fifa portal once selected ? or the tickets will not reside on the fifa account ? Curious to know what issues you have experienced

 

The tickets will not reside on the FIFA account immediately. Not sure at what point the concierge service will transfer them to our FIFA accounts. I’m assuming when the portal opens back up.

 

Deadline for the us soccer draw is Saturday 1159pm right?

 

Yes, 11:59 PM EDT.

 

US soccer used this service for the $60 ticket lottery. I haven't seen any indication of when tickets would be transfered to FIFA accounts. I would suspect much later in the game unless there is some restriction on reselling/transferring (but I could be wrong).

I have a suspicion the tickets being sold in this new sale were allocated to the host, not left over from any sale. Just a guess since they are none in Canada, Mexico but who knows.

 

As far as I understand, there wasn't a requirement for using an email for US draw that should be the same email that we have in our fifa's user. So I wonder how tickets (hopefully) purchased in the US Soccer draw can appear in fifa's account if someone is using different emails.

 

All draws are done match by match as well. All of my applications have been partly successful. I didnt get any all or nothing results.

 

This here seems to possibly indicate somehow eventually it will be linked. Not sure if anyone here got the $60 tickets and has them in FIFA account already.
How many tickets can I request?

Insiders may select either two (2) or four (4) tickets for their desired matches. Please note: Per FIFA regulations, an individual may not exceed four (4) tickets per match and forty (40) tickets total across all purchase channels.

 

The $60 tickets I got are for conditional games so that may be why I never saw them in my FIFA account or maybe none of those ported over yet. Either way, I am operating under the assumption that if I got 2 tickets for a game through US soccer (regardless if it's a $60 ticket or not), I can only get 2 more for that game and can't apply for a different game the same day.

 

Also submitted, but no confirmation email

 

I’m trying to make some bookmarks on my browser for April.
Does anyone have the any URLs that might come in handy?

 

Looks like folks who bought hospitality tickets are getting emails by FIFA that their section/pavilion will not be offered so they will get upgraded to a better hospitality section. This to me sounds like FIFA is consolidating the different sections/categories and will offer these on FCFS

 

Interesting. Where did you see this?

 

A few reddit posts about it

Maybe they were expecting much more hospitality sales? They've been pushing it hard

 

Para Houston desapareció el nivel Pavilion y han ofrecido Suites.

Yo creo que FIFA va a empezar a ampliar las categoriás menores, Cat 1 pasaran a ser el menor rango de Hospitality, Cat 2 será Cat 1 y Cat 3 será Cat 2.

Con esto veremos más oferta de categorías inferiores en FCFS, lo cual es bueno y también malo, porque parece que FIFA no va a bajar sus precios.

Prefiere vender más volumen que ofertar ante el público una disminución del valor de sus entradas.

 

So that would be additional Cat 1 supply. I assume it is not for all games, though.

 

So things are not working out for FIFA, uh?
