So of course the tickets will be like gold dust. Find out when FIFA Club World Cup tickets will be available, how to get them and how to secure the best seats at the cheapest prices.

The best place to buy Club World Cup tickets is the official FIFA website. It hasn’t been announced when tickets will go on sale – but it’s rumored to be either December 12th or 19th. However, you can register your interest for free today.

FIFA will then keep you updated via email with the latest ticket sales news. In the event that FIFA is sold out, you may be able to pick up tickets from resellers and secondary marketplaces. However, this is not recommended as it comes with the risk of inflated pricing and, worse, fraud.

Ticket price ranges and categories

At this point the ticket prices are not yet known. However, Based on previous FIFA tournaments, they will inevitably vary depending on factors such as playing stage, seating category and stadium location.

Typically tickets are divided into four categories. Category 1 is usually the most expensive category with seats near the center circle, while Category 2 is usually reserved for the four corners of the pitch and is the second most expensive category. The cheapest sections are categories 3 and 4, where there are seats behind the goals. Additionally, group stage matches will be the cheapest option. Prices tend to rise significantly in the knockout rounds.

Of course, the most sought-after tickets are available for the finale and the highest prices are available for VIP experiences. If we use the 2026 World Cup as a pricing guide, the cheapest ticket could be worth $323, while a VIP suite costs a hefty $4,307.

When and how to buy tickets

Exact details about how and when ticket sales will start are not yet available. However, based on the experience of previous World Cups, FIFA typically uses a four-step process for ticket release. The first phase is called the lottery phase and is a random process. Phase 2 is a traditional first come, first served basis after teams have been divided into their respective groups. Phase 3 is another lottery. The final phase is Phase 4, which is another first-come, first-served scenario.

To ensure you have the best chance of getting the seats you want, we recommend you take the following steps. To stay up to date on ticket releases, sign up for alerts on the FIFA website. Be quick and secure the best seats at affordable prices. If a lottery system is used, increase your chances by applying in the early rounds.

There are a few ticket buying tricks you can use that will increase your chances of success. The first is to use as many devices as you own to secure tickets as they are released. When demand is high, ticketing websites can often be difficult to access. If you use multiple devices and regularly update your browser, you may be able to access the ticket purchase page.

Another tried and tested approach is to have multiple friends/family members apply for tickets at the same time. Each person can then purchase tickets for themselves and the group, provided they are granted access to the site. Remember to stay in constant communication so you know who was successful to avoid buying more tickets than you need.

Plan your trip to the FIFA Club World Cup

If you are successful in purchasing tickets, plan your trip carefully to avoid high prices. Accommodation and travel costs skyrocket around tournament time, so remember to book early. You can reduce travel costs by booking your hotel or AirBnB near the stadium.

You may also need a visa-like document to travel to the United States unless you are a citizen of Canada and Bermuda. You can apply for an Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) online. The total cost is $21, including a $4 processing fee and a $17 authorization fee if you are approved. The Department of Homeland Security recommends applying for ESTA at least 72 hours before traveling.

If you are a fan of a club taking part in the tournament, you may be able to apply for a seat in a designated area with your fellow fans. Manchester City, for example, promotes its fan section on its website. To qualify you must be a season ticket holder or club member. You can then apply online for an access code that you can use when purchasing tickets on the FIFA website.

Common ticket mistakes to avoid

If you want to fully enjoy the Club World Cup, you should avoid the pitfalls. Buy your tickets on official platforms – anything you buy from unauthorized providers can be either grossly overpriced or fake. So book early to avoid disappointment. If you buy tickets and then decide you can’t use them, you can resell them via FIFA’s ticketing platform.

However, that depends on someone wanting to buy it from you. FIFA does not provide refunds.
