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

Yes I think we're in agreement. Whatever account one uses to buy Federation supporter tickets, don't use that same account elsewhere directly with FIFA as that account will limit the tickets per match at 4. And yes household limits aren't enforced via some scanning across different accounts, but I recall for Qatar 2022 I was blocked from buying more tickets due to the account already maxing out. So I lost the opportunity to snag what I wanted.

Simply put, within a single account, the limits are enforced (per match and per tournament). This is important as many here are American/Canadian and likely want larger quantities of US/Canada tickets...

 

Yes. He's not planning on attending this World Cup. He doesn't have good expectations for his home team...

 

Yeah in the past two WCs there’s never been any enforcement or cross referencing mechanisms lol

 

So the presale terms and conditions say one entry per household.

so if I create multiple entries with multiple emails are they gonna void everything? I see people here entering multiple times.

 

I’ve started a WhatsApp group for FV buying/selling/trading/helping each other. DM if interested. You have to be willing to help others in case you get into the portal first.

 

I havent gone through the application process. Did you guys get a credit card charge after applying? One friend in Mexico got a 20 pesos charge from "fwc mexico". I've understood no one was getting validation charges.

 

He is the best

 

Anyone getting this message ?

Unfortunately, your payment method could not be added. Please try again later

Although i have tried 3 different visa cresit cards (prepaid) in my name

 

Your card isn’t valid on their end. Expired or not being picked up

 

If I want tickets to just the final, do I only choose Finals and NY/NJ host city? Second, should we be concerned there are no options for TST-7/8?

 

I tried both Wise and Revolut (prepaid)
Both visas in my name. Seems they dont like online banking tools ?

 

Is anyone finding there is a limit to how many accounts that can be created per IP address? Or any insight on whether there might be a time limit on that? I tried using a VPN when creating some dirty draw entries and it has no effect - ended up using my cellphone to create some more.

And if there is a limit, would there be a time limit imposed on that (e.g. only 5 accounts per 24 hours)? Asking any software engineers in particular.

 

Just clear the cookies. That’s worked for me

 

Great seeing all the old names pop up here.. lets not forget the legend who created the discord scanner.. hopefully he comes back again

 

Is there anyone who has been to the previous world cups who wouldn't mind me asking them questions directly? Or discord/whatsapp?

 

So from the FIFA ticketing website... Tst 3 will be the only tst available?

 

So far it’s the only one

 

Should be just an authorization; your friend should not see it as a completed transaction and the authorization should disappear in a few days.

It appears that in Canada and the U.S. they've been able to validate credit card numbers and expiry dates without doing an authorization. That may not work for every card or for the Mexican Peso site.

 

Thanks. I was wondering on the implications of having this authorization if we want to try multiple accounts with one credit card. I'm doing very few 1account -1cc and then reusing a cc multiple times.

 

There's also the legendary @Scorpyn78, who I am eternally grateful for providing ticket app demand data for Brazil 2014. Not sure I would have been able to successfully buy tickets without that help.

 

Guessing it won't be a problem, but let us know. Nothing I've seen or heard suggests they are tracking duplicate credit cards to enter the lottery, and a LOT of people have been doing that today (myself included).

In the past people have purchased with the same credit card across multiple accounts, using someone else's card. No guarantees but it probably won't be an issue to purchase tickets in 2026 either. Worst case - prepaid debit cards are suppose to work.

 

Unless FIFA truly start cracking down on the “one entry per household”, you should be fine making multiple entries with various emails. Historically, there hasn’t been any enforcement of those policies and my personal opinion is that they add those in there to create the illusion that they’re giving everyone a fair and equal chance, which sounds nice on paper but my guess is they only really care about making money and anyone who is willing to make multiple emails just for better odds of being offered tickets, is definitely gonna be willing to PAY, and that’s what FIFA ultimately wants. Just my thoughts..

 

Hey guys, I just finished entering the Visa Presale Draw Entry.
I entered fan of "Iran", hoping to see TM in US. I entered for Bay Area, LA, Seattle and Vancouver.
My question is, does it matter what to enter as fan of which country you are? Is it better if i choose fan of USA?
I want to be able to 1- see Iran on those venues 2- if not, get tix of any team possible and see if I want to see the games or sell the tix.

 

That is the biggest question: how can you get a final ticket without TST
I guess no one has an answer so far
