Overview
- The first registration window runs 10–19 September on FIFA’s site and is limited to Visa cardholders under the sponsor’s exclusive rights.
- Tickets are allocated by random draw, with successful applicants emailed from 29 September and purchase windows beginning 1 October, and availability is not guaranteed.
- Baseline prices start at $60 for group games and reach up to $6,730 for top-category final seats, and FIFA will adjust prices to demand under a dynamic model cited by official Heimo Schirgi.
- Two further lottery phases are planned, including registration from 27–31 October with sales from mid-November to early December, and another phase after the 5 December group draw for specific match selections.
- Sales are online-only with an official resale platform to follow; resale price caps will differ by country (no cap in the U.S. and Canada, face-value limit in Mexico), and roughly half of about 5.5 million tickets are allocated to the public.
