FIFA World Cup 2026 Resale & Exchange

You may have used third-party ticket resale platforms like StubHub, SeatGeek, and Vivid Seats. However, FIFA's official Resale/Exchange Marketplace is the only official channel for Americans to safely buy and sell resale tickets.

If you just want to give the tickets to real relatives and friends for free, you can use the Guest Transfer function in your FIFA account. Do not list them on the Resale Marketplace, otherwise you will be charged a 30% handling fee for no reason!

Tips to Save Money on FIFA World Cup 2026 Tickets and Travel

The price on the second-hand market has already been driven extremely high. I'll give you some excellent tips to help you buy World Cup tickets at a better price.

• Focus on the "Last-Minute Sales Phase." It's recommended to log in to your FIFA account in advance, avoid peak times (such as 11 AM Eastern Time).
• Even during the World Cup, dining and taxi costs in Mexico City and Monterrey remain significantly lower than in North America.
• Kansas City is known as the "underrated football capital." The dining options (especially BBQ) are very affordable!
• Cities like Houston have an average room rate of around $170. However, prices in New York and Los Angeles can rise by as much as 300%.
• Take the official "ConnectKC26" shuttle bus to get directly to the stadium from downtown or a park-and-ride point.
• Parking fees at many stadiums have increased to $50-$100. 👍We suggest parking at a nearby public transportation hub or satellite city and then taking a shuttle bus.
• Buy your fast and convenient eSIM on trip.com in advance and make your World Cup trip even more worry-free.
