2. Apply Immediately After the Draw
The Random Selection Draw (lottery phase) is your BEST chance to get tickets at normal prices.
Tip: Apply for multiple matches including neutral games, it increases your allocation chances.

Tickets appear randomly, especially close to matchdays. Check several times per day.
4. Be Flexible About Categories
- Category 1 sells out fastest.
- Category 4 is limited to residents of USA/Canada/Mexico.
- Category 2 & 3 offer the best chance.
5. Hospitality Packages = Guaranteed Access
Expensive, but the only 100% guaranteed option.
6. Avoid Unofficial Resellers
FIFA warns that any non-authorized reseller can result in ticket cancellation.
Where to Buy FIFA World Cup Tickets (Official Sources Only)
You can ONLY buy real tickets from:
- Official FIFA Ticketing Portal (primary sales)
- FIFA Resale Marketplace (international)
