FIFA Last-Minute Ticket Sales Phase Opens — First-Come, First-Served for Final Seats

FIFA's fourth and final official ticket sales phase — the 'Last-Minute Sales Phase' — opened at 11:00 AM ET on April 1, 2026. Tickets are sold first-come, first-served via FIFA.com/tickets and will remain available through the end of the tournament in July. Over 500 million applications were submitted in prior phases. The launch came under heavy scrutiny: dynamic pricing — a World Cup first — drew a formal letter from US Congress members calling it 'the most financially exclusionary tournament ever.' The cheapest openly available final ticket starts at $2,790, climbing to over $4,185 as availability drops. A separate PMA (Play-off Match Association) supporters phase runs simultaneously for fans of the six newly qualified teams — DR Congo, Iraq, Kosovo, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Sweden, and Denmark.
