The ticket prices for the group-stage matches will start at $60, with the most expensive tickets for a prime spot at the final priced at $6,730. However, these prices are subject to dynamic pricing, which adjusts ticket prices based on demand [1].
Dynamic pricing has been a contentious topic in the ticketing industry, with mixed results at previous events. For instance, the 2025 Club World Cup saw ticket prices drop significantly before kickoff, although the World Cup is expected to have significantly higher demand [1]. Fifa officials have justified the use of dynamic pricing as a way to adapt to the domestic market in the United States and Canada, where the practice is common [1].
The ticket sales process will be staggered to avoid system overload and allow dynamic pricing to adjust within each window. The first phase of ticket sales will be followed by a similar lottery phase after the World Cup draw on December 5, and a final "first-come-first-served" phase in the spring [2].
Fans can buy a maximum of four tickets per match, for a maximum of 10 matches during the tournament. Fifa has also announced that it will operate a resale marketplace to avoid scalping [1].
The World Cup revenues will be distributed among the 211 member institutions to grow the game of soccer globally [2]. The use of dynamic pricing is expected to generate additional revenue for Fifa, which could help fund these initiatives.
