Yes, there are risks when buying FIFA World Cup 2026™ tickets outside FIFA.com/tickets. We strongly recommend purchasing tickets only through FIFA.com/tickets. Buying outside our official sales channels can lead to the following issues:
Tickets sold on unofficial resale websites, social media, or through third-party vendors may be fake. These fraudulent tickets can look legitimate but may be rejected at the stadium gate, leaving you without entry on match day
Some scammers sell the same ticket to multiple buyers or resell tickets that have already been voided by FIFA Ticketing. Even if a ticket scans at the gate, you may be denied entry if it is flagged as invalid or already used
Unofficial sources often inflate prices significantly, especially for high-demand matches like knockout stages or rivalry matchups without any guarantee of authenticity
We encourage you to purchase tickets only through FIFA.com/tickets, the official and preferred sales hub for FIFA World Cup 2026™ tickets.
