Ticket Guide

Everything you need to know about buying tickets for FIFA World Cup 2026 matches in Dallas — official channels, resale options, what things cost, and how to avoid getting scammed.

Official Tickets

Buy from FIFA Direct

Always buy official first. The only authorised source for FIFA World Cup 2026 tickets is FIFA.com/tickets. Any other site selling "official" tickets is a third party at best and a scam at worst.

Tickets are tied to your ID. At the gate you'll need your passport or ID matching the ticket name. Non-transferable without FIFA approval.

Resale Market

If Official Tickets Are Sold Out

FIFA runs an official resale platform — this is the safest secondary market option. Third-party resale sites also carry World Cup tickets but with significant price premiums.

FIFA Official Resale
FIFA.com/tickets — official resale marketplace. Safest option. Tickets are verified and ID-linked. Check regularly as tickets are returned throughout the tournament.
StubHub / Viagogo
Expect 3–10× face value for popular matches. Prices spike as match day approaches. Buy early if using resale. Both offer buyer guarantees.
Supporters Club Allocation
National football associations receive ticket allocations. Join your national supporters club — Dutch, Argentine, Brazilian, and English clubs often have ticket packages for members.

Scam Warning

Don't Get Scammed

PDF tickets are fake
FIFA World Cup 2026 tickets are digital only — stored in the FIFA app. Anyone selling a PDF, screenshot, or printed ticket is scamming you. Walk away immediately.
Bank transfer = no protection
Never pay by bank transfer, wire, crypto, or gift cards. Use a credit card through a verified platform only — gives you chargeback rights if the ticket is invalid.
Social media sellers
Facebook groups, WhatsApp, and Instagram are full of ticket scammers during major tournaments. Even if a seller looks legitimate, use only verified platforms.
Fake FIFA websites
The only real FIFA ticketing URL is fifa.com — bookmark it and type it directly. Do not click links in emails or ads claiming to sell official tickets.

At the Stadium

Using Your Ticket

Download the FIFA App
Your ticket lives in the FIFA app. Download it and add your ticket well before match day. Keep the app on your home screen. Make sure your phone is charged.
Arrive 90 minutes early
AT&T Stadium is enormous. Security queues for 100,000+ people take time. Gates open 2.5 hours before kickoff. Arrive 90 minutes early to avoid missing the start.
Clear bag policy
AT&T Stadium enforces a strict clear bag policy. Only bags smaller than 12"×6"×12" in clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC are permitted. Small clutch bags up to 4.5"×6.5" are allowed.
Bring photo ID
Your passport or government-issued ID must match the name on your ticket. FIFA may conduct random ID checks at the gate. Minors must be accompanied by the registered ticket holder.
