Ticketing for the 2026 World Cup is underway, and football fans around the world may be in for a surprise. Because the organizers have decided to set very, very high prices for the different matches. Thus, you will have to pay a minimum of 180 dollars (153 euros) to attend a single meeting of this World Cup. And this, in the worst part of the stadium.
For the French team, it’s even more expensive. For the match against Senegal, played in New Jersey, the price of seats in the 3rd category was set at 220 dollars (187 euros). This increases to 465 dollars (395 euros) in 2nd category and 620 dollars (527 euros) in 1st category. The prices are similar (220, 430 and 600 dollars) for the 2nd meeting, scheduled in Philadelphia against an unknown opponent since it will be an intercontinental play-off (Suriname, Bolivia or Iraq).
It will be even less affordable for the final match of the group stage against Norway in Boston (265, 500 and 700 dollars). Prices will then continue to rise throughout the final phase. We chose the scenario where the Blues would finish at the top of their group I. The prices would be as follows: 280-610-750 in the 16th in New York, 320-620-840 in the 8th in Philadelphia, 650-890-1270 in the quarterfinals in Boston, 930-2350-3295 in the semi-finals in Dallas.
For the final, we expect even more impressive heights, with a minimum of 4,185 dollars for a place in 3rd category and a maximum of 8,680 dollars (7,381 euros) for 1st. Stratospheric. The opening match in Mexico is not free either ($1020-1705-2355).
There remains another possibility for Blues supporters. However, you had to register for a form on the FFF ticketing website available until this Thursday. This allowed you to have an access code to go directly to France’s matches. Members of supporters associations benefited directly from this.
