Happy New Year! I am watching how FIFA sells the tickets for the upcoming tournaments before the 2026 World Cup, and am reading up on how they did things in Qatar. Reinventing the wheel is hard and FIFA probably wouldn't start everything from scratch. My personal experience with Ticketmaster has not been bad, so I don't mind if FIFA sells through Ticketmaster. That said, I am just aiming for a seat, any seat....my standard is not very high, lol. But I kinda also want them to have a reserved section for the local people. I live close enough to one of the host cities. Your prediction for when the 2026 World Cup tickets would go on sale makes a lot of sense to me. Ideally, you want all of your products to do well and not cannibalize each other. So yeah, they are definitely focused on promoting the Club World Cup and the Gold cup now.
