WC2026 Planning

Same here. The routes seem widespread and rates $1.75, with service starting 4 hours in advance of kickoff. Parking rates at the designated lots are dumb, but at least a couple stations have free neighborhood street parking within reasonable walking distance. With some locations near rail stations. What I don’t know is frequency of pickup or how demand will affect wait time. That might not be obvious until it gets going.

Here is link to the Metro page for anyone curious about pickup locations:

There are also some park-and-go shuttle locations for like $50+ and a shuttle fee ($12?), but to me that’s an awkward middle ground option that only makes sense in specific scenarios. I’m almost certainly going to use a city bus. Unless I get real squirrely and bike there! The parking itself at SOFI is plentiful and safe, in my experience, but no chance I’m forking over the $250+ premium for convenience. Those Metro busses might end up being pretty fun anyway. Especially if we win!

 

I'm pretty sure the Forum's parking is part of the official parking controlled by FIFA. You have to reserve in advance and it's around $300.

The LA Metro bus shuttles from outlying Park and ride lots for $1.75 should be a good option. They are charging high parking fees at those locations, but you can get there by regular transit service or an Uber to avoid that. One thing I don't know about is the schedule for those shuttles. You can also take regular service to the LAX transit center and ride the shuttles from there.

 

Nice spot for before and after.

Any advice on the ticket market?

 

Here's current view of FIFA Marketplace..

 

Wait a minute.
$3.68 MILLION DOLLARS.

 

Ha yep so stupid.. you can literally list for any price you want. Obviously its a joke.. but I swear some news outlets picked up on it.. "tickets going for $3M".

 

The LA Galaxy (I’m a STH) just emailed me and offered me tickets to any of the LA games in the group stage. Including USA versus Paraguay, which included category three tickets available for sale. Unfortunately, they’re still at the same inflated prices. The other group games in LA, all the category three tickets were claimed to be sold out.

FIFA clearly has a lot of inventory still to move for our opening match.

 

have 2 tickets in section 205, row 1. looking to sell them for $1000 each (well below face value of 1850). please dm if interested

 

Anyone in LA now?

 

Worth heading to the coliseum today? I’m leaning NO.

 

I am, still trying to get tickets.

 

I have 2 tickets for the game. Dm me

 

On the plane to La let’s go!

 

Anyone have two tickets to the game tonight they are looking to unload?

 

Hi, I am looking for 1 or 2 or 4 tickets for both remaining group game. Please reach out if you have any. Understand that I need to pay fairly for them. Thanks!

 

Looking for 1 or 2 for Seattle.

 

@NorthBank This might be a better spot to scare up a ticket. The USA is still out west, but there are still group matches in Philadelphia and NJ. Good luck!

 

I am looking for one ticket for possibly the round of 16 or the round of 8 to see USA play. please message me.

 

I felt I was screwed by FIFA.

Bought 4 Category 1 tickets for each of the 2 matches in Boston back in November, and for both games endded up with corner seats.

WTF happened to the other ten of thousands of better seats in Category 1?

How does FIFA assigned seats, do you have to buy some of their bs merchandises or packages in order to get assigned the better seats in the Category you paid for?

Anyone else have similar experiences?
