The jaw-dropping prices for 2026 FIFA World Cup hospitality tickets had fans completely stunned

With the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the U.S., Canada and Mexico set to kick off next summer, the first sets of tickets — geared to luxurious hospitality packages — went on sale on Tuesday.. And, well, only FIFA could make the Eras Tour look like a bargain. In conjunction with FIFA's hospitality partner, OnLocation, hospitality packages were released to the public with prices starting at $5,300 per person and ranging to nearly $73,000 each. While these seats include amenities like inclusive food, beverage and lounge experiences, the price tag spoke to the audience FIFA is catering to with a U.S.-based World Cup. Hint: It isn't the regular fan. Hospitality packages that FIFA is offering. These packages also don't include matches for the USMNT, Mexico and Canada. So, those tickets will almost certainly be even more expensive. In an interview with The Athletic, OnLocation's Alicia Falken defended the pricing model given the luxurious experience: 'They are much more than just tickets, there are elevated experiences, immersive ways for fans to take in the experiences and take in a tournament. We are preparing curated culinary offerings, local flavors, highlighting traditions of the host cities and embracing the vibrant experience of the World Cup.' Still, fans justifiably had sticker shock at ticket costs that deliberately priced out the average person. This was how Twitter/X reacted For the low, low price of $20k, you can get fieldside seats and a full food, beverage, hospitality, and transportation package for all 6 FIFA World Cup games being played at the Linc next year. — Mand0lyn (@CapnOA) May 6, 2025 There you have it folks. The cheapest hospitality ticket package for the 2026 FIFA World Cup will run you $5,300. I will take my deposit back. — Brad Szalach (@brad_szalach) April 29, 2025 1-year away from World Cup heading to Atlanta Just clicked on most expensive ticket option.. 'Pitchside lounge' 1 ticket... 8 games in Atlanta.. $40,400 — Zach Klein (@ZachKleinWSB) May 6, 2025 Checking in on World Cup special seating prices… — Mark the Overseer 👀 (@MarkTheOverseer) May 6, 2025 Just got a World Cup 2026 email from Sofi Stadium. Thought I'd check out the cost of a 4 game package. Take a look at that price.. — 🅾🅻🅳 🅱🅰🅻🅳 🅶🅾🅾🅽🅴🆁 (@OldBaldGooner) May 6, 2025 The hospitality packages for the World Cup in Atlanta just dropped and they are for big dogs only. Sheesh… — Moneybagg Co 🧨 (@corysparks) May 6, 2025 This article originally appeared on For The Win: Prices for 2026 FIFA World Cup hospitality tickets had fans stunned
