The FIFA World Cup is officially in North America, and Kansas City is one of the lucky host cities welcoming the world to GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.
If you’re hoping to attend one of the matches in Kansas City, you’re not alone. Fans from across the countryβand around the worldβare looking for tickets to experience the excitement firsthand.
At McCarthy Chevrolet Olathe, we’re helping local fans understand where to find World Cup tickets, how the ticket process works, and what to know before match day arrives.
ποΈ Start with FIFA’s Official Ticket Website
The best place to find World Cup tickets is directly through FIFA’s official ticket portal:
π https://www.fifa.com/tickets
This is where FIFA releases ticket information, registration opportunities, ticket sale phases, and official updates for all World Cup matches.
By creating a FIFA account, you’ll be among the first to receive updates when new ticket opportunities become available.
ποΈ Kansas City World Cup Matches
Kansas City is scheduled to host multiple FIFA World Cup matches at:
GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium
π https://www.chiefs.com/stadium/
These matches include group-stage contests and knockout-round action, making Kansas City one of the premier World Cup destinations in the Midwest.
Because matchups can vary throughout the tournament, demand for tickets is expected to be extremely high.
π How FIFA Ticket Sales Usually Work
If you’ve never purchased World Cup tickets before, the process may look a little different than buying tickets to a Chiefs game or concert.
Ticket sales are typically released in stages:
Registration Phase
Fans create a FIFA account and register interest.
Random Selection Phase
Some ticket releases use a lottery-style drawing due to high demand.
First-Come, First-Served Sales
Additional ticket inventory is released online.
Last-Minute Releases
FIFA may release additional seating closer to match dates.
The earlier you register and monitor FIFA updates, the better your chances of securing seats.
π Hospitality Packages
For fans looking for a premium experience, FIFA also offers hospitality packages that may include:
- Premium seating
- VIP lounges
- Food and beverage options
- Exclusive match-day experiences

β οΈ Be Careful with Resale Sites
You may see tickets available on resale platforms, but it’s important to use caution.
Before purchasing from any third-party seller:
- Verify ticket authenticity
- Review refund policies
- Confirm the ticket transfer process
- Understand that prices may be significantly above face value
When possible, purchasing directly through FIFA remains the safest option.
π Don’t Have Tickets? The FIFA Fan Festival Is Free
Even if you don’t secure a stadium ticket, Kansas City will still offer incredible World Cup experiences.
The official FIFA Fan Festivalβ’ at the National WWI Museum and Memorial will feature:
- Live match broadcasts

π Plan Your Transportation Early
If you’re attending a match at Arrowhead Stadium, expect:
- Heavy traffic around the stadium
- Large crowds entering and exiting
- Limited parking availability
- Increased travel times throughout the metro
Planning your route and arrival time ahead of kickoff can make the entire experience much more enjoyable.
Whether you’re heading to the stadium, Fan Fest, or a local watch party, having a comfortable and reliable vehicle makes all the difference.
