The 1,000 tickets will be split across seven matches played at MetLife Stadium, five group-stage fixtures, a round of 32 tie and a round of 16 game. None will be for the July 19 final.
New York City has secured 1,000 World Cup tickets at $50 each, the cheapest available for the tournament, to be distributed by ballot to city residents.
Mayor Zohran Mamdani will announce the arrangement, negotiated with FIFA, at a 10:15 a.m. news conference in Harlem, in the community of Little Senegal. Two of Senegal's three World Cup group games are at MetLife, but nationals from Senegal currently face travel restrictions due to Trump administration travel bans, so domestic fans will need to turn out. Mamdani raised the idea directly with FIFA when he met with President Gianni Infantino at City Hall in March.
The 1,000 tickets will be split across seven matches played at MetLife Stadium, five group-stage fixtures, a round of 32 tie and a round of 16 game. None will be for the July 19 final. The tickets are in the upper tier of MetLife, and are the equivalent of Category 3 tickets, which are among the cheapest seats.
The window to enter the lottery opens at 10 a.m. Monday and closes at at 5 p.m.Winners will be informed on Wednesday, June 3, and be permitted to buy up to two tickets each, which will allow a parent to take a child. The tickets will be non-transferable and only be given to the winners on the day of the game involved, at the site from which fans will be transported via buses to MetLife Stadium, to avoid resale.
