Soccer fans irate as shocking ticket prices for 2026 World Cup are revealed

With just over a year until the 2026 FIFA World Cup takes the United States, Canada, and Mexico by storm, fans might need to start squirreling cash away now in order to afford tickets.

The first packages of World Cup tickets went on sale earlier this week in the form of hospitality packages on the higher end of the pay scale.

While many fans likely won’t be able to afford the suites that start at $3,500 and run as high as over $70,000, the average ticket price won’t be much better.

As reported by Adam Crafton of The Athletic, the united bid for the World Cup estimated that the average cost of a group stage ticket would be around $305.

Of course, non-hospitality tickets have yet to go on sale and those prices could change drastically between now and then.

But football fans have already voiced their anger on social media over the tournament that has been a pet project of President Donald Trump.
