Overview
- Verizon announced Thursday that it will run its largest ticket drop on June 1, offering more than 2,500 free seats across 64 U.S. matches through the Verizon Access section of the My Verizon app.
- All claims will be first‑come, first‑served and restricted to accounts with a home address within 150 miles of a host city, and winners must cover travel and lodging themselves.
- Hundreds of secondary winners will receive “Golden Tickets” that grant pitchside access to watch part of a match.
- Verizon is tying the giveaway to product promotions by offering three months of FOX One to new Verizon Home Internet customers and a $15/month FOX One add‑on for myPlan customers.
- The push doubles as marketing for Verizon’s role as FIFA World Cup 2026 telecom sponsor, highlighting planned 5G and fiber upgrades at stadiums and fan festivals while underscoring that scarce tickets and excluded travel costs will limit who can attend before the tournament starts on June 11.
