Mayor Mamdani Secures 1,000 Affordable FIFA Tickets for New Yorkers
Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced affordable World Cup ticket prices for New Yorkers on Thursday. Starting next week, residents will have the chance to enter a lottery to buy tickets for matches at MetLife Stadium for $50 each.

These 1,000 tickets are going to be split into batches of 150 tickets for each of the five, group stage matches and two knockout round matches in New York/New Jersey. And tickets will cost only $50. We want to open the tournament to working people who couldn’t otherwise afford it, not to scalpers. That’s why we’re making tickets non-transferable, and we’ll dispense them directly to winners at the bus boarding location.
