Overview
- About 4.5 million people sought roughly one million tickets in the first phase, accounting for around 15% of total stadium capacity.
- Prices rose during active sales, with some U.S. group‑stage category‑one seats jumping from $535 to $565 in two days, and knockout prices also climbing within days.
- FIFA’s official resale platform is live and takes a 15% fee from both the seller and the buyer on each transaction.
- Final ticket prices reported by outlets range roughly from €1,745 to €5,470, while the widely advertised $60 entry price was available in limited quantities.
- FIFA says more sales rounds are planned later this year, with roughly half of all tournament seats allocated outside open public sale to sponsors, partners and federations.
