Lottery opens May 25 at 10AM, closes May 30 at 5PM
Deets: Mayor Mamdani just announced a partnership to make 1,000 FIFA World Cup tickets available to NYC residents for just $50 each through a public lottery system!
A maximum of 50,000 people can enter per day. Once the lottery hits that mark, it closes until 10AM the following day. You have to be 15 or older to enter, and there's just one entry per person.
The program covers the five group- stage matches and two knockout-round matches, with about 150 tickets allocated per game. So no tickets for the July 19 final. You have to be at least 15 years old to enter.
Randomly selected winners will be notified by email on June 3. If you win, you've got 48 hours to buy two $50 tickets. You can't pick them up, though, until the day of the match - and that pick-up has to be in person.
Winners will be offered free round-trip bus service to their matches. Tickets are non-transferable in order to prevent scalping, and Mamdani said the city would be taking steps to ensure the ones they distribute go to New York City residents and are not resold on the secondary market. The tickets will also only be handed out directly to the fans as they board the bus on game day.
Hint for the Average Socialite: Ticket lottery opens May 25 @ 10AM! Each eligible person may enter once per day, for a maximum of 6 entries.
