Tickets to the 2026 FIFA World Cup matches in Philadelphia are starting to show up on secondary resale markets.
Why it matters: FIFA hasn't started selling its general tickets yet.
State of play: StubHub, Vivid Seats and other resale websites are listing individual tickets for matches set for June and July next year at Lincoln Financial Field.
- Tickets to Philly's first World Cup match, on June 14, 2026, are listed on StubHub from around $1,100 to more than $15,000, per an Axios review on Wednesday.
What they're saying: A StubHub spokesperson tells Axios that event organizers, sponsors and corporate partners often receive early access to tickets that may make their way to StubHub.
- "There is zero incentive to sell a fraudulent ticket on StubHub," the spokesperson added. "Sellers aren't paid until the buyer gets in the door."
The other side: A FIFA spokesperson tells Axios that fans should be "wary of non-FIFA official ticketing websites that claim to be selling tickets already and only purchase tickets from the official and legitimate source."
- FIFA is expected to begin selling tickets later this year. You can register interest online.
Pro tip: It may be worth waiting to buy that World Cup ticket.
- Average StubHub prices for the 2022 World Cup dropped 36% in the six months leading up to the tournament, per the company.
💰 Meanwhile, FIFA has already begun selling pricey VIP World Cup packages that allow you to secure a seat now, along with other perks.
What's ahead: Philly will host six World Cup matches — five in the group stage and one in the Round of 16.
