How Much Are FIFA Tickets Usually? Prices You Should Expect

FIFA World Cup Ticket Prices: The General Range

Ticket categories and what they mean

FIFA doesn’t do “one size fits all” when it comes to ticket pricing. They typically divide tickets into four categories:

• Category 1: Best seats, center of the pitch, most expensive

• Category 2: Corner sections, still solid views

• Category 3: Behind the goals, cheaper but still decent

• Category 4: Only for residents of the host country, most affordable

For the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, prices ranged like this (in USD):

• Group stage: from $11 (Cat 4) to $220 (Cat 1)

• Round of 16: up to $275

• Quarterfinals: around $330 max

• Semifinals: $500+

• Final: cheapest at $200, premium seats over $1,600 (!)

Honestly, seeing those numbers makes you wonder if watching from your couch might be the real VIP experience.

Are these prices constant?

Not exactly. They change every tournament. Host country, economic conditions, stadium capacity — all affect pricing. For example, tickets for the 2018 Russia World Cup were a bit cheaper on average.

So, no, there's no “fixed” price. But the ballpark is usually $100–$300 for mid-level matches and a lot more for the knockout rounds.

Extra costs fans often forget

Not just the ticket

Buying a FIFA ticket is just the start. You also have to factor in:

• Flights (which explode in price near the event)

• Hotels (some double or triple during the tournament)

• Food, local transport, and maybe some merch (come on, who doesn’t want a jersey?)

Some fans told me they spent more than $5,000 for a full World Cup experience. Others did it cheaper, couchsurfing and eating street food. Depends on how wild you go.

Scalping and third-party sites

Tickets on resale platforms? Yeah, they can cost double, triple, or worse. FIFA has its own resale portal, but let’s be real — once tickets sell out, the black market comes alive. Not exactly recommended, but it happens.

One guy I met in Doha said he paid $800 for a group stage ticket from a scalper. Spoiler: the game ended 0–0. Brutal.

Are there cheaper ways to attend?

Follow your national team early

When your team qualifies, national federations often get an allocation of tickets. These can be slightly cheaper and come with fan group benefits.
But you gotta act fast. Blink, and they’re gone.

Opt for less popular matches

Not every game is Argentina vs. Brazil. Matches like Tunisia vs. Panama (sorry, no offense) are way cheaper and easier to access.
And hey — sometimes those games are insanely fun. Underdogs always bring the energy.

What about Women’s World Cup or youth tournaments?

Women’s World Cup: way more affordable

The FIFA Women’s World Cup has grown massively, but prices are still more budget-friendly. For the 2023 edition in Australia & New Zealand:

• Group matches started at around $10–$20

• Finals topped at about $150–$200

Honestly, a great deal for world-class football — and usually a better family vibe too.

U-20 and youth tournaments

These are often held in smaller stadiums, sometimes free or with minimal entry fees. Not huge hype, but pure football. And who knows — you might see the next Mbappé before he becomes the Mbappé.

Final thoughts: So how much are FIFA tickets usually?

There’s no single number — but generally:

• Group stage: $70–$200

• Knockout rounds: $200–$500

• Finals? $500 and up (way up)

But hey, it’s not just a ticket. It’s part of a dream. If you can plan early, save right, and maybe skip a few takeout meals along the way, it might just be worth every cent.
