All Livefootballtickets.com reviews are visible on our Trustpilot profile, but we would like to share some reviews by customers who previously bought World Cup tickets via our platform. This is a small sample size of reviews we got for selling our 2022 World Cup tickets:

Michael Robinson from Australia booked two tickets for England vs France during the 2022 World Cup.
He said followed about his experience: I can't believe how easy and well managed our ticket purchasing was. Everyone told me not to buy a ticket to the England v France World Cup game from a reseller but my son was desperate to attend. I had confirmation of the ticket within a few hours, daily updates and then the ticket arrived on our FIFA App a few days later, well ahead of the game. At every stage I was given confidence that the ticket was likely to be bona fide. A very positive experience on this occasion and I would have no hesitation in purchasing from Livefootballtickets again. Review on Trustpilot

Adnan Amiri from the UAE booked 4 tickets for Brazil vs South Korea in the 2022 World Cup round of 16.
Adnan left us this review: Purchased 4 tickets for the Brazil vs south korea R16 World Cup match on the day of the match. The tickets were transferred to our accounts within 2/3 hours. We had no issues getting into the stadium. This is the third time I use Livefootballtickets without any problems. Highly recommended! Review on Trustpilot

Afnan Chowdhury from the UK booked 3 tickets for the 2022 World Cup.
Afnan left us this review: Bought 3 tickets for the FIFA world cup 2022. Despite having bought from them before, obviously I had my doubts since this is a world cup and tickets are very much limited throughout the world. However livefootballtickets went far beyond my expectations with their service, sure I had to write a few emails every now and then to follow up and get an update on my tickets but that's what any worried buyer would do when they don't have the tickets on their hands. Livefootballtickets have been extremely professional with their service and they sent a step by step instruction on how to get the hayya card, how to download the world cup tickets, even I didn't know that tickets could only be transferred through the FIFA app for the world cup and the fact that I needed hayya card. I received all my tickets well before a week for all my games kick off. Livefootballtickets you have my utmost respect and my 100% trust now. Will forever and always recommend them, now since I have tickets for the most awaited tournament in the world where the tickets are extremely limited, I don't think I need to worry about buying from them for any other matches from now on.

World Cup ticket prices

The 2026 edition of the biggest sports competition in the World is going to be a big one. Unfortunately this is something we also see in the pricing of the tickets. From the moment the football organization made the tickets available, the pricing is a subject of discussion. The Guardian recently published an article about the national football associations who also got left stunned by the ticket prices. Even buying tickets for family members cost a lot of money. In that article claims are made that an average ticket for the World Cup is £2,200. On Livefootballtickets.com we've got a total of 10252 World Cup 2026 tickets available. The average price between all tickets is currently $2,152. This average ticket price is based on all available tickets for the entire tournament.

Every World Cup ticket on our website will shown the category, so you always know which tickets you're buying. These categories are available for the tournament this summer:

• Category 1 tickets: This is the highest-priced categories. Category 1 tickets are the most expensive seats with the best view. The majority of category 1 tickets are located in the lower tier of a stadium.
• Category 2 tickets: The second most expensive category lists tickets just outside of the category 1 areas. Tickets in category 2 are available in lower an upper tiers.
• Category 3 tickets: Another step cheaper and another step in visibility. These tickets are listed just outside of category 2 tickets. Most of the category 3 tickets are listed in the upper tier.
• Category 4 tickets: Category 4 is the most affordable category. Tickets are positioned in the upper tier of a stadium outside of the categories 1-3.
• Accessible Seating Area tickets: This is a special category. Every stadium has a designated area for people with a disability and limited mobility. Tickets for these areas are the accessible seating area tickets.

Will this decline continu, or is Thomas Tuchel the magician who brings the trophy back to the UK?

Can they recover and show the World how good England really is? You can follow it from close with your own England World Cup tickets.
• Argentina, the defending champions wants to do what only 2 countries have done before, winning the World Cup twice in a row. Only Italy in the 1930’s and Brazil in 1958 and 1962, won two consecutive titles. It would be an amazing achievement for Argentina to do this in the first tournament with 48 participating countries. For Lionel Messi the 2022 win was already the crown on his career, but can he add another crown? Book your Argentina World Cup tickets and watch him for the last time playing on a World Cup.
• The reigning European champions are currently favourite to win the World Cup according to the bookmakers. Spain has a squad filled with quality players. They can choose between Unai Simon and David Raya in goal, have players like Aymeric Laporte, Dean Huijssen, Pedro Porro and Marc Cucurella in the backline. A midfield with Pedri, Rodri and Olmo belongs to the very best in the World. If that wasn’t enough their attacking line can be Lamine Yamal, Mikel Oyarzabal and Nico Willians. A team that convinced during the Euros and matured 2 more years. This team will be a joy to watch for everybody with Spain World Cup tickets.
• On the opposite side of the spectrum we’ve got Curacao. The smallest country to ever participate in a world cup tournament. The island with a population of less than 200.000 people, will play their first ever World Cup tournament. Ever since they’ve got qualified, the island is in extasy. Everybody on the island knows it’s going to be a unique tournament for them. It’s a big question if Curacao will ever reach another World Cup tournament. This is shown by the popularity of Curacao World Cup tickets. It looks like everyone in Curacao wants to visit a match of their team.
