Topline:
In six months, the FIFA World Cup arrives at the SoFi Stadium in Inglewood and winners of the latest phase of the FIFA World Cup ticket draw were notified today. But if you missed it, there is another opportunity to snag tickets.
Why now? The third phase of ticketing began today, according to tournament officials.
How it works: Ticketing for all games — including those at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood — happens in phases through a lottery draw system. You must register a profile through FIFA’s site in order to enter. Today, those registered will find out if they were picked via email.
If I get picked, what’s next? Successful applicants will receive a notice in their emails and be automatically charged for the tickets they picked in the draw. A partially successful applicant means that you will receive the number of tickets requested, but not for all the requested matches.
Do I have another chance? The next opportunity is called the Last-Minute Sales phase, which FIFA has said will open in early April. FIFA is also running its own Resale/Exchange Marketplace, which will close Feb. 22 and reopen April 2.
The complete L.A. schedule:
- June 12 @ 6 p.m.: USA vs Paraguay
- June 15 @ 6 p.m.: Iran vs New Zealand
- June 18 @ Noon: Switzerland vs Italy, Wales, Bosnia-Herzegovina/Northern Ireland Winner
- June 21 @ Noon: Belgium vs Iran
- June 25 @ 7 p.m.: Türkiye /Romania/Slovakia/Kosova Winner vs USA
- June 28 @ Noon: Round of 32 Match
- July 2 @ Noon: Round of 32 Match
- July 10 @ Noon: Quarter-Finals Match
On the secondary market: Prices for a single ticket to watch USA vs. Paraguay on June 12 at SoFi Stadium are slightly higher than what’s listed on FIFA’s ticketing portal. As of Wednesday, the lowest price for a single ticket to that game on StubHub is around $1,490, including fees, and $45,000 on the high end.
