Overview
- FIFA says the third ticketing phase drew five million requests in 24 hours from more than 200 countries, with the lottery running until January 13.
- Football Supporters Europe and England’s FSA condemned the PMA price structures and called for an immediate suspension and review of prices and category allocations.
- The German FA expressed disappointment at the levels but said pricing is set exclusively by FIFA and that it was only informed hours before applications opened.
- Published examples show England’s group-stage PMA tickets at roughly €250–€800 and a possible final at least €4,760, while German fan-block tickets start at €155, €190 and €230 for the three group games with top categories up to €600.
- FIFA reports most requests came from the U.S., Canada and Mexico, with Colombia–Portugal in Miami and Germany–Ecuador in East Rutherford among the most sought fixtures, as fan groups estimate roughly $6,900 to follow a team through a possible final.
