Dynamic pricing for tickets to the 2026 FIFA World Cup will range from $60 to more than $6,700.
FIFA announced the ticket-pricing and sales plan on Wednesday. It will happen in phases.
The first phase opens Wednesday, Sept. 10. Fans will apply for the chance to buy tickets using a Visa card — Visa is a corporate sponsor of the World Cup.
Fans will be placed into a randomly drawn queue that will give them a designated time and date in October when they will be able to log in and purchase tickets.
If selected, fans will get an opportunity to buy up to 40 tickets to different games (maximum of four per game) in October. Seats to all 104 matches will be available.
Those selected will receive notification through email by Sept. 29.
Fans must create a FIFA ID as part of the application process.
A FIFA official did not say how many $60 tickets would be available in any stadium ... but noted that the percentage of those tickets will “not be insignificant.”
The rules for the ticket draw can be found on FIFA.com/tickets. Fans must be at least 18 to enter the draw.
The World Cup will be played in the U.S., Mexico and Canada next June and July. Kansas City will be the site of four group-stage games, a round-of-32 contest and a quarterfinal.
A second phase — which won’t include the Visa card requirement — will start Oct. 27 and run through early December. Then there will be another lottery phase, followed by a first-come-first-served phase. That will take place after the World Cup draw, which is scheduled for Dec. 5.
Fans can already purchase single-match and multi-match hospitality packages, which include match tickets, at FIFA.com/hospitality.
