Additionally, Vivid has listings for World Cup matches in the United States and Canada.

“No matter what you’re looking to spend, Vivid Seats has World Cup tickets to fit your budget,” Vivid’s website claimed.

“Vivid Seats will have World Cup tickets for sale as soon as they are available, usually many months before the actual game,” it added.

FANS SHOULD BUY ONLY FROM ‘OFFICIAL AND LEGITIMATE SOURCE’ OF WORLD CUP TICKETS

FIFA responded to the SkyNews and V2Radio report.

Furthermore, the world governing body “encourages any fan wishing to purchase tickets for the FIFA World Cup 26 to be wary of non-official ticketing websites.”

Moreover, FIFA noted these sites continue to “claim to be selling tickets already.”

Purchase only “tickets from the official and legitimate source once those are made available,” it added.

“It’s unlikely that these tickets have been issued and the relation with the competition organisers is unclear,” Football Supporters League executive director Ronan Evain said.
