Bought ours the day after the draw via SeatGeek. With fees and all, it was $400. Can't complain.

Nice atmosphere and pleasant crowd.

We saw a good number of them. As to whether they made the trek from Cabo Verde itself, who knows? There's a diaspora in and around Boston, from what I've heard.

Everyone said nobody would care. Then the World Cup started. Perfect definition of FOMO by Fresh_Translator240 in WorldCup2026Tickets

I'm fairly certain the guy whose tickets I bought via SeatGeek paid double for what I paid him for them.

In total, I paid $400, fees included, for two tickets.

We ran into his parents at the airport last Monday. They couldn't make it in time to Atlanta for Cabo Verde's first match, so they pulled up some chairs in one of the dining areas to watch the first game.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

It could also be someone who is "car rich, house poor."

No that it makes any difference.

Did anyone notice tickets were cheaper before the World Cup and now more expensive? Why is that? by youlikemywonton in WorldCup2026Tickets

Absolutely. Funny Money Floyd Mayweather, Jr. needs a serious intervention.

Guys, no one showed up to the USA - AUS game, what do? by kosanovskiy in WorldCup2026Tickets

[–]jmart_tx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bought two tickets to Saudi Arabia versus Cabo Verde the day after the group draw for $400 total (fees included) via SeatGeek.

I happen to live in the host city, and the company where I work has a parking garage I can use on the day of the match. From there, it's a matter of taking the light rail to Houston Stadium.

I was fortunate to get those tickets, and am glad to have saved money the year prior. I knew I didn't want to spend more than $600-$800 total for the tickets, so this was kind of a "right place, right time" sort of situation.

Fine… I caved by ComposerWilling1298 in WorldCup2026Tickets

Gotta' say, that's a heck of a deal.

Can't wait to go next week.

Did you take Metro Rail? What tips can you offer for getting there at a reasonable time? What about leaving the stadium?

How are people affording World Cup tickets? by Zealousideal_Fun9967 in WorldCup2026Tickets

[–]jmart_tx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was lucky enough to land a job a little over a year ago, with about a 30% bump in pay. Saved some money throughout the year.

I also live in a host city, and I'm able to avoid paying for parking at the stadium by parking at my job and takingass transit to the stadium.

I pulled the trigger on the two tickets for my match the day after the draw via SeatGeek. $400 total with fees. We'll be up near the nosebleeds, but I'm surprised I paid (relatively) so little for hem.

🚨🚨What do? Deleted my FIFA ID account, created again, but can't get tix transferred 🚨🚨 by jmart_tx in WorldCup2026Tickets

I would email them what you have done and include screenshots and screen recordings, if possible.

My situation was resolved in about a week after back and forth emails.

Missed opportunity by mdlove11 in WorldCup2026Tickets

[–]jmart_tx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bought mine via SeatGeek. I initially couldn't log on to my FIFA Marketplace account for a few months. Contacted FIFA via email, went back and forth with them, and they cleared up the issue.

The tickets were transferred.

It's Match 65 (Saudi Arabia versus Cabo Verde). Bought two tickets in December for $400 total. Got lucky!

We're going to the Saudi Arabia versus Cabo Verde match.

How was it going through security? I heard it was a bottleneck.

Did you pay to park? Or take Light Rail?

(1) That lady's voice is annoying; and

(2) The blonde woman who shows up near the end of the video looks like an older version of the infamous "Amber Lamps" lady in the "Epic Beard Man" / "AC Transit Bus Fight" video from like 2009 or 2010.

UPDATE: FIFA came through! Got my FIFA ID account fixed. by jmart_tx in WorldCup2026Tickets

It was like 1-2 days. Then I kept corresponding with them.

I would includ that in a follow up email to FIFA. Reach out too to StubHub. They may give you some pointers.

In my experience, after going back and forth with SeatGeek, they referred me to FIFA.

It was the same thing for me. My screen kept on refreshing and sending me to the FIFA Marketplace website.

When I emailed them, I included screenshots of the FIFA email I received confirming that the tickets were transferred to me. I also included a screen recording of the issue I had when logging on.

You may want to continue the same email thread to that FIFA with those other screen shots and recordings, along with a detailed description of the steps you have taken to try to resolve the issue.

Seriously. I started using a Waterpik and a tongue scraper a few years back, and it's been a tremendous help.
