Tips

Ticket Buying Tips

Everything you need to know about purchasing World Cup 2026 tickets safely.

Where to Buy

The only official source is FIFA.com/tickets. All tickets are digital, linked to your FIFA account. Do not buy from third-party websites — they are not authorized and tickets may be voided at the gate.

Visit FIFA.com/tickets

Resale Tips

FIFA operates an official resale platform where fans can sell unwanted tickets at face value. This is the only safe way to buy resale tickets. Never pay above face value on unofficial platforms. Check the resale portal regularly — returned tickets appear unpredictably.

Avoid Scams

Be wary of "guaranteed tickets" on social media or third-party sites. Red flags include requests for crypto/wire payments, prices far above face value, and sellers claiming "VIP access." Report suspicious sellers to FIFA.
