Summary
Ticket sales for the 2026 World Cup, held in the United States, Mexico, and Canada, are about to begin. Tickets may be hard to get and could be expensive due to high demand and a new pricing system. FIFA is introducing a system called "variable pricing," which changes ticket prices based on demand.
