World Cup Tickets Now on Sale: First-Come, First-Served

0:00FIFA just opened the final window for World Cup tickets at face value, kicking off this Wednesday, April 1st, at 11 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time, or 8 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time. It's first come, first served through their website, no lottery this time, and it stays open right up to the tournament's end. Fans can pick matches, categories, and even specific seats on the spot, with instant confirmation after payment. Tickets drop on a rolling basis, so checking back often makes sense, same-day options might pop up too, if they're available. Demand has been massive, with over 500 million requests, during earlier draws, and more than 1 million tickets sold by late February. This tournament's the biggest ever, with 48 teams across three host countries, and FIFA expects it to smash the old attendance record of 3.5 million from 1994. Just 13 of the 104 matches hit Canada, 7 in Vancouver, and 6 in an expanded BMO field in Toronto, while the U.S. takes, 78 in Mexico 13.

1:05A resale platform reopens April 2nd, but expect higher prices there, capped by law in Ontario, but not British Columbia. Keep an eye on the official site for your shot at these seats, as the Global Soccer Party ramps up, like never before. That's your update from Canada News Today, powered by AI.
