AI-generated summary reviewed by our newsroom.

- For the July 11 quarterfinal, general parking is $225 and oversized is $900.
The good news for fans wanting to drive to a 2026 World Cup match at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium is tailgating will be allowed in Kansas City, despite reports to the contrary.
The bad news is FIFA is using dynamic pricing for parking passes to the matches. Fans have complained about the cost of tickets for matches, and parking won’t be cheap either.
The least-expensive parking pass is $125, which is in place for three group-stage matches. Oversized parking will cost at least $500. For the quarterfinal match on July 11, those prices jump to $225 for general parking and $900 for an oversized vehicle.
That lowest price is more than double what fans pay for a Chiefs game ($50) and quadruple the cost of parking for a Royals game ($21).
On its parking website, FIFA notes “Only one parking pass may be purchased per ticket, and a valid match ticket is required to complete the purchase.”
Kansas City World Cup organizers said 200 buses will be used to get fans to matches, so it might make sense to leave the car at home.
