Everything you need to plan ahead — when tickets go on sale, how the FIFA ticket draw works, expected prices, and how to buy safely for matches across Morocco, Spain, Portugal and South America.
The 2030 FIFA World Cup is the first held across six countries and three continents, so ticketing will be a little different from a single-host event. The good news: the core process — run by FIFA at FIFA.com/tickets — stays the same. Here’s how it works.
Create a free FIFA account at FIFA.com/tickets and register early. You'll be notified the moment sales open.
The first sales phase is usually a lottery — you apply within a window, and successful applicants are picked at random (not first-come).
Remaining tickets are sold in real time. Demand for big matches is huge, so be ready the instant it opens.
Closer to and during the tournament, returned and released tickets go on sale on the official resale platform.
Exact 2030 prices aren’t set — these are the standard FIFA categories.
Best seats, highest price. Closest to the halfway line.
Mid-tier pricing and positioning around the stadium.
Most affordable, reserved for residents of the host countries.
Follow-your-team series tickets and premium hospitality packages (sold separately).
FIFA has not announced exact dates. Based on past tournaments, official ticket sales typically open roughly 12–18 months before the event, in phases, via FIFA.com/tickets. Register your interest early to be notified.
Prices are not confirmed. As a reference, recent World Cups have ranged from around $60 for the cheapest group-stage seats to several hundred (and far more for the final). Expect a similar structure for 2030, with cheaper Category 4 tickets for host-country residents.
Only through FIFA's official channel at FIFA.com/tickets. Never buy from unofficial resellers or social media sellers — those are the main source of scams and invalid tickets.
You buy per match, so you can target specific games in Morocco, Spain, Portugal or the South American centenary matches. Plan around the cities and stadiums you want to visit.
Yes — FIFA usually offers 'team-specific' ticket series once the draw is made, letting you follow one nation through the group stage and beyond.
