For the FIFA World Cup 2026 ticket packages, following FIFA’s December 16, 2025 announcement introducing a limited $60 (£45) Supporter Entry Tier in response to fan concerns over ticket affordability, this new tier now represents the lowest general admission ticket price available.
However, it’s restricted to hundreds per match (e.g., ~450 for the final out of 4,500 allocated to federations), distributed via national associations to loyal supporters of qualified teams. It doesn’t apply to packages and isn’t a broad discount; general prices remain variable based on demand.
FIFA World Cup 2026 Ticket sales are in Phase 3 (random selection lottery open until Jan 13, 2026), with prices updated post-draw. No widespread discounts on packages were announced alongside the $60 tier—hospitality remains premium-priced, starting in the thousands.
Here’s the full breakdown of general admission and package options, with current prices effective as of December 18, 2025 (no additional promotions available). All prices are listed in USD and may fluctuate over time.

Hospitality Packages (Premium Experiences)
Hospitality Packages are sold exclusively via On Location (FIFA’s partner) at the official site. These include premium tickets, gourmet food/beverage, lounge access, entertainment, and VIP entry far above general admission. No discounts announced with the $60 tier; prices reflect the May 2025 launch with minor demand adjustments.
| Package Name | Description & Inclusions | Match/Stadium Focus | Starting Price (per person) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Skybox Suites | Private suite for 12–20, all-inclusive dining, open bar, concierge, pitch views. | Any single/series | $15,000–$50,000 (group) |

Back in May 2025, the lowest price was around $5,300, but now you can find group stage tickets starting at about $1,475 in select cities like Houston. While there aren’t any bundle discounts, purchasing a series can help cut down on fees.
