There’s really nothing saying FIFA can’t or won’t change their process and use one similar to that of the Copa America organizers (i.e. CONMEBOL). In fact, they’re currently using Ticketmaster, one of the two platforms tasked with ticket sales for Copa America, to sell tickets for the 2025 Club World Cup. But if they return to the process used for past World Cups, this is what you need to know.

If the initial reports of such a proposal are any indication of how some FIFA representatives felt about it, we might be ok. The New York Times reported that there was “stunned silence” by the participants, and three unnamed sources said: “FIFA was likely to be guided by financial and political benefits as much as sporting ones when it came to taking a decision on the matter." All of this, by the way, before we’ve even kicked off the first of the four World Cup tournaments happening before 2030.

Here’s what you should know about these elusive, historically budget-friendly tickets and your odds of snagging some for World Cup 2026.
