FIFA Opens Final World Cup 2026 Ticket Lottery With Single‑Match Options

Fans confront scarce low‑price seats under a draw‑based system following the group‑stage schedule.

Overview

  • Registration on FIFA.com/tickets is open now through January 13, with selected applicants later receiving time‑limited purchase windows by email.
  • This last official sales phase newly includes single‑match and team‑specific tickets for group games, with any leftover inventory only possibly released closer to the tournament.
  • Low‑priced Category 4 seats are in short supply while FIFA’s resale platform shows sharply higher asking prices and charges 15% to both buyer and seller.
  • Germany’s fan allocation equals 8% of each match’s net capacity, and the DFB is issuing access codes to official fan‑club members, limited to one code per FIFA account.
  • FIFA says nearly two million tickets were already sold to buyers from 212 countries, flight searches to host cities have spiked, and German reports describe a U.S. ‘FIFA‑Pass’ plan to prioritize visa appointments for ticket holders.
