World Cup Ticket Prices
While these will most certainly fluctuate with dynamic pricing and the secondary market, it’s good to have on record the prices for tickets from yesterday’s Visa Presale Draw. I got this information from The Athletic, who in turn seemed to get the majority of their data from FIFA Collect Analytics. I’m just going to plagiarize their posts, because it’s relevant, plus paywall blocks, and FIFA Collect Analytics’ website seems a bit janky and is going through some maintenance (like it’s currently not accessible at this moment I’m typing). All data is as of 10/2/2025.
The TLDR is expect to spend around $300 a ticket for the group stage / round of 32.
I personally believe that $300 a ticket for the group stage is too much, and these prices will drop. There’s simply no way we can fill out stadiums at those prices for most of the teams for workday / midday irrelevant (dead rubber) group stage matches. But it is what it is. If you’re going to buy anything at these early, pre-draw stages go with the knockout rounds and weekend matches.
It also looks like the Right to Buys are going to be less valuable unless you have an RTB for a category 4 ticket (which I don’t think was possible). There simply won’t be much arbitrage opportunity in the secondary market above these prices to justify the RTB prices (assuming RTBs purchase at these values).

It should be noted that the Category 4 tickets are highly limited just the upper corners of most stadiums and will likely be impossible to get. If you’re budgeting, it’s far more likely you’ll get access to Category 2 & 3. Anyway, it seems pretty expensive, but alas tis America and FIFA, what did you expect.
