The FIFA World Cup 2026 is facing growing concerns over ticket sales as resale prices continue to decline across several U.S. host cities. While demand for marquee matches remains strong, many supporters are hesitating because of soaring prices, travel costs, inflation and FIFA’s staggered ticket release strategy.

With uncertainty surrounding pricing and availability, fans considering attending the tournament are now carefully weighing whether to buy immediately or wait for the market to shift further.
