"Hundreds of people are complaining on social media about the murky process for acquiring tickets to matches, including six World Cup games in the Bay Area. Few others are celebrating after receiving a coveted email from the global soccer organization with access to ticket sales for the 2026 tournament in Mexico, Canada and the U.S. Some of those recipients are sharing that FIFA is giving people 24-hour windows to make their purchases."
"FIFA said about 1 million tickets will be available during the current sale phase. Once a fan is notified about a successful application, the organization confirmed that they'll get a 24-hour window to purchase tickets. Unsuccessful applicants will need to re-register for subsequent ticket draws, which include a Phase 2 draw with registration from Oct. 27 to 31, and a Phase 3 draw for applications to specific matches, which will open short"
About 4.5 million people registered for the Visa presale draw, with the largest number of applications from the three host countries and high interest from Germany, England, Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Spain and Italy. FIFA will notify successful applicants no later than 48 hours before each sales window opens, and notified fans receive a 24-hour window to purchase tickets. The Visa presale purchasing window opened Wednesday and runs until mid-October, with roughly 1 million tickets available in the current phase. Unsuccessful applicants will be informed after successful notifications and must re-register for upcoming Phase 2 and Phase 3 draws.
