🎯 How to Buy Official Tickets (Step-by-Step)
FIFA does not sell tickets at stadium box offices. The only official and secure platform is FIFA.com/tickets. Here is the current status of sales phases:
- Last-Minute Sales Phase (Live): Launched April 1, 2026. Tickets are sold first-come, first-served with immediate confirmation – this is the final opportunity to purchase directly from FIFA.
- Official Resale/Exchange Marketplace: Open until one hour before kickoff. Fans can buy verified tickets originally purchased by others. Note: FIFA takes a 30% cut on resale transactions.
- Supporter Entry Tier ($60): Available for all 104 matches, including the final. Allocated via participating member associations to loyal fans.
⚠️ Warning: FIFA warns that tickets purchased from unofficial sources (scalpers, non-authorized websites) may be invalidated. The only authorised channels are FIFA.com/tickets and the official FIFA Resale Marketplace.

- Final – Category 1: Original: $7,875 → Resale: up to $20,000
