FIFA Opens 2026 World Cup Ticket Registration as Users Report Long Queues and Errors

Fans selected in the Visa-only lottery will be notified from September 29 for purchase slots beginning October 1.

Overview

  • Registration for the first phase runs September 10–19 and requires a FIFA ID, age 18 or over, and a valid Visa card, with allocation by random draw rather than first-come, first-served.
  • Tickets in this cycle cover all 104 matches, with options including individual games, venue series, team packages and hospitality.
  • Published price bands start at US$60 for some group matches and reach up to US$6,730 for premium seats at the final, with dynamic pricing in effect.
  • FIFA says an official resale platform will launch later this year, and seat selections will be assigned closer to match days to reduce fraud and unauthorized resale.
  • Mexico’s 2026 revenue bill proposes a tax exemption for FIFA tournament activities, subject to SAT vetting and congressional approval.
