Soccer fans have accused FIFA of a “monumental betrayal” after latest prices for World Cup tickets began to circulate
abcnews.go.comHere’s the latest on FIFA’s last-minute sales phase for the World Cup tickets.
- The final ticket window, called the Last-Minute Sales Phase, began on April 1 and runs on a first-come, first-served basis through July 19, 2026. This phase aims to allocate any remaining tickets after previous phases sold many seats.[1][3]
- Tickets are released on a rolling basis and may include same-day matches, with a public sale channel through FIFA’s official site and potential access to a resale marketplace for holders who can’t attend.[2][3]
- In practice, expect digital queues and inventory updates across multiple categories (Categories 1–3 and premium/front-row options), with periodic new drops up to the tournament’s end.[5]
- Public coverage notes that demand has been historically high, with hundreds of millions of requests during earlier phases and millions of tickets already claimed, making this final phase critical for fans still hoping to attend.[3][1]
- Some outlets highlight ongoing concerns about ticket pricing and resale practices in relation to the World Cup, underscoring the importance of using official channels to avoid scams or inflated prices.[4][8]
