FIFA's Random Selection Draw ticketing phase for 2026 World Cup continues until 10am Jan. 13.
Why it matters: Seats on resale platforms already have steep prices.
The latest: FIFA cut prices yesterday for the most loyal fans after worldwide backlash.
Zoom in: North Texas will be hosting nine matches, and the secondary ticket market is pricey.
How it works: Fans must apply for the drawing through FIFA.com/tickets using a FIFA ID.
Worthy to note: Submitting early doesn't improve your chances, and ticket prices will remain the same throughout this sales phase.
