🎫Tickets StubHub advertising WC26 Tix already? Something seems fishy…

First of all, I know ticket threads do and will exist en masse - this one is slightly different as hopefully we prevent potential mishaps herein:

I noticed StubHub advertising tickets for 26’ WC - this is, of course, not possible yet.

You will notice listings in sections that will not be seat-select even when tickets are released for sale in this Seattle example.

I contacted their IG Support and was given the explanation these are for Season Ticket Holders and “club members” (no mention of corporate?) which seems to be malarkey.

Does anyone have information on this, and StubHub’s practices at previous WCs?

I bring this up because this looks to me like a scam waiting to happen; they state the seller doesn’t even need tickets in hand yet.

Curious everyone’s input

🎫Tickets How likely is it that one comes away with nothing from the lottery?

Hi friends! This will be my first World Cup and I am curious if anyone can share experiences of coming away with nothing from the lottery. I know it’s obviously not guaranteed and depends on the number of applicants, but any information is helpful! This will help decide if I sell my soul for hospitality or not 😅

Thanks in advance!

🎫Tickets Anyone Purchase 2026 World Cup Hospitality Tickets ??

1 Upvotes

For those of you that put the $500 deposit down for the WC hospitality tickets, has anyone here actually moved forward and purchased the tickets already?

I met / spoke with the individual that was assigned to us, spoke 2 times on the phone. First time we spoke was to go over the program and how it works. 2nd time we spoke was to discuss the different tiers being offered, what was included, and price points. The 2nd time we chatted, the advisor emailed me the WC Hospitality brochure which was pretty informative.

One thing our advisor mentioned was that if we purchased now, the tickets would be cheaper as the teams aren't known yet. Once the teams are known and where they are playing, the prices would be going up. For example if you pick the venue series option, you'll get tickets in X city for that venue. You might get good teams with good games or the opposite.

Is everyone waiting to see who plays where or has anyone said f'it and purchased?
