DFB confirms high prices for Germany's 2026 World Cup group stage tickets

Following widespread backlash over 2026 World Cup ticket prices, the German Football Association (DFB) has detailed costs for Germany's group matches, starting at 155 euros—even as fan groups like Football Supporters Europe demand FIFA review the rates.

Building on the global outcry detailed in earlier coverage, where FSE labeled FIFA's pricing a 'monumental betrayal' and called for halting sales through national associations, the DFB confirmed specific rates for Germany's contingent.

Germany's group stage fan block tickets are priced at 155 euros against Curacao (June 14), 190 euros against Ivory Coast (June 20, Toronto), and 230 euros against Ecuador (June 25, East Rutherford), rising to 430, 515, and 600 euros by category. The DFB receives 8% of stadium capacity per match, like other associations, excluding the cheapest general-sale tier.

Fan club members can access codes for registration from Thursday until January 13 via FIFA's portal, with random draw selection. Knockout and potential final tickets (July 19, up to 7,430 euros) must be applied for now, with resale possible from April 2 on FIFA's platform.
