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

Ticketing app, it's probably just a minor update from the one used in Qatar, but the fact that it's not even out yet shows FIFA's incompetence and laziness.
My JFA $60 ticket is from R32 onwards, so I'm still ok, but people with tickets for the first match are getting impatient I think.

 

Do you think there’s any chance ticket prices will drop further for the Turkey vs USA match in LA? On the resale market, they seem to have come down almost to face value, so I’m seriously considering going. I'm just curious if they’ll dip even more as the match day gets closer.

The US opening match is so expensive that there are still tickets left, and some are even trading below face value. If it stays too pricey, I might just watch it at the LA Fan Fest or Cosm instead. Since the US is the host nation, I expect the atmosphere to be absolutely incredible anyway. atmosphere to be incredible anyway.

 

I have M1. Not sure why people need the ticketing app right now. Match is more than 3 weeks away.

 

It’ll all depend on how US performs in M4 and M32. Match may be under $100 if they stink the first 2; or be higher if they’re playing well. If you’re in town just be ready to pounce.

 

$60 ticket holders can not confirm its block/number and can't transfer to their family/friend.
It is understandable for me they want to know it.

 

Yeah, touts are trying to offload them; still don’t see a need to have that information 3 weeks out. That’s probably the hold up tho. FIFA trying to code federation restrictions.

 

App is released

They read this forum lol. Hi FIFA!

 

Cue the dozens of "my tickets aren't yet shown when I login" posts

 

Don't know if they still do but they've definitely got some ninjas lurking here in the past lol

 

My tickets aren't yet shown when I login.

 

Same here. FIFA did say that they would add tickets to the app over a period in their statement on the website so I suppose it is to be expected.

 

Question: IF you sold tickets via the FIFA Marketplace/re-sale website - have you been paid by FIFA?

I know it says get paid within 60 days of the sale.
I sold some on 4/1 the day the website re-opened. I've heard nothing yet. Was simply curious.

Thanks.

 

I sold a couple I overzealously bought the same time and was refunded last week on my credit card. Interestingly, there was another single ticket I sold later that I haven't been refunded and I got an email last week that they couldn't process the refund and needed me to update my banking info. Really strange.

 

I recently sold a ticket on the marketplace and I was refunded in around 10 days. Heck, it might even have been just a week!

 

If you made a profit you’ll have to wait at least 60 days and need to fill out this form for the wire processing . If you lost money; you’ll get a credit card refund.

Thanks, good to know! Hadn't heard about this yet. Yes, was profit.

Thanks again.

 

I would fill out the form right now. Name on bank account and name on fifa account need to match.

 

Mine says I need to fill out all forms before submitting even though I have filled them all out. Anyone else have that problem?

Have tried different browsers at different times with no luck.

 

have you asked here? They have a good handle on the process

Whats the easiest way to cash out of FIFA collect wallet (I dont have any crypto accounts currently)

 

Big thanks, I will look into this.

 

It's based on the full transaction, so if for instance you bought tickets to several matches and then sold one set of tickets at a profit, you'll still get the payment as a credit card refund (as long as the amount you receive is less than the total of the original transaction).

 

Oh, got it. Thank you! What you reference above is my scenario.
