$70K World Cup tickets? Here's what you need to know about FIFA's premium tickets
$70K World Cup tickets? Here's what you need to know about FIFA's premium tickets Show Caption Hide Caption Vice President Vance jokes that World Cup fans could be deported Vice President JD Vance said while they are excited to welcome fans for the World Cup, he joked that people "have to go home" once it's done. The most expensive premium ticket package to attend the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the United States will cost you more than $70,000. FIFA has begun offering luxury ticket experiences for fans to indulge in more than just the action in anywhere from four to up to nine games during the tournament. The ticket package options include: A venue option that allows you to watch every match (six to nine matches) hosted at a single location; a four-match option for any World Cup location; and a Follow My Team option for most teams. The venue and four-match options offer four different seat locations — FIFA Pavilion (not at every location), Champions Club, VIP and Pitchside Lounge — in a standard or plus tier option with more benefits. The Follow My Team option includes tickets in the FIFA Pavilion tier, the cheapest of the four seat locations. The tickets in each package increase in price with each advancing stage in the tournament: group stage, round of 32, round of 16, quarterfinals, semifinals, third place and the final. The Pitchside Lounge tickets in New York/New Jersey – which includes the final at MetLife Stadium on July 19, 2026 – is easily the most expensive option with a ticket for eight total matches totaling $68,150 per package for the standard option or $73,200 for the plus option. The $73,200 package includes a ticket to five group-stage matches worth $3,400 each, a round-of-32 match worth $4,200, a round-of-16 match worth $5,500 — before skyrocketing to $46,500 for the final. The Follow My Team option allows you to watch three group stage matches and a round-of-32 match of most teams. If your team doesn't advance past the group stage, you'll be able to watch the group winner in the round of 32. The team packages vary in price: Between $7,400-$8,100 to watch Kylian Mbappe and France – the 2018 World Cup winners and 2022 runner-up. $8,950-$9,550 to watch 17-year-old phenom Lamine Yamal and Spain – the Euro 2024 champions and gold medalists at the Paris Olympics. $9,950-$11,500 to watch Jude Bellingham, Cole Palmer and England – runner-up of the last two Euro finals. The United States, Canada and Mexico – the three host countries for the 2026 World Cup are not included in the team option. Argentina – the defending World Cup champions – are also not included in the team option. Argentine star Lionel Messi still has not yet declared whether he will play in 2026, but recently said he's thinking about it. The four-match option allows fans to buy tickets to any four matches during the group stage at any venue, but two matches must be selected from Monday-Thursday. Single-match tickets and premium ticket packages for matches in Mexico and Canada will be available later this year.
