FIFA Opens Phase 1 World Cup 2026 Ticket Sales With Initial Prices Revealed for Mexico

Early buyer disclosures highlight FIFA's lottery-based, dynamic pricing in the first window.

Overview

  • Buyers and outlets shared Mexico price bands showing group stage seats at roughly 3,300–10,000 MXN, Round of 32 at 3,000–8,225 MXN, and Round of 16 at 3,900–11,030 MXN under dynamic pricing.
  • Screenshots from the portal indicated marquee prices, including $6,730 for Category 1 tickets to the MetLife Stadium final, with elevated figures also shown for the opener and select U.S. and Canada matches.
  • Excélsior reported more than 4.5 million registrations for the Visa presale, with only a randomly selected subset receiving 24 hours to complete purchases.
  • One outlet published a conflicting table labeling much higher Mexico prices as official, creating confusion that remains unresolved against the ranges cited by other reports.
  • Resale sites listed steep markups almost immediately—up to about 300,000 MXN for the Azteca opener—as authorities warned about scams and FIFA highlighted a forthcoming official resale platform, with additional sale windows set for Oct. 27–31 and after Dec. 5.
