Vancouver fans who haven’t caught a World Cup match live yet still have one chance left, but they’ll need to move fast.
FIFA’s official “last-minute” sales phase is still offering remaining seats on a first-come, first-served basis. The official resale marketplace and third-party resale sites are also where many of the remaining tickets are now appearing. However, inventory is limited, and prices can vary widely.

What you should know
In Vancouver, ticket supply is tight, but there are still tickets on the market if fans are willing to look. None of the BC Place matches were sold out, and that remains true for the final match on July 7.
FIFA sells all remaining World Cup ticket inventory through its official portal, with the last-minute phase releasing seats closer to the tournament. Tickets are released in 30-minute increments, with limits on how many you can buy.
The official FIFA resale and exchange marketplace is also open and is available exclusively through FIFA.com/tickets.
What are the prices
Prices can swing quickly. Vancouver ticket prices have been dropping compared to earlier this year. So fans watching resale listings may find better deals closer to match day—but with fewer choices.
Unfortunately, the cheapest options may still be expensive. Some fans have been lucky to grab a deal right before a match. However, if you use this tactic, tickets are not guaranteed. Resale tickets on StubHub can be lower but remain substantial once fees are included.
For the Round of 16 match on July 7 between Switzerland and Colombia, tickets are currently available on resale platforms for as low as $475. Hospitality packages are also still available for fans looking for premium access. Note that ticket prices fluctuate and may be higher or lower from day to day.
In previous games, fans have report that there were even empty seats when they arrived.
Smart buying tips
Stick to official FIFA channels first, as the last-minute sales phase and resale marketplace are the sanctioned ways to buy remaining tickets. If using a secondary resale site, check buyer protections carefully and ensure tickets are digital and transferable through the proper app.
Avoid screenshots, cash deals, or social posts promising “instant” tickets, as these are common scam formats. For fans prioritizing atmosphere over budget, hospitality packages offer a safer option than the volatile resale market.
Last note
For Vancouver fans, the best approach is to monitor FIFA’s portal repeatedly and compare it against the resale market. This is especially true for less in-demand matches, where prices can soften.
If the goal is simply to be part of the World Cup experience in the city, it may also make sense to plan around match-day fan events and public viewing options while keeping an eye on last-minute ticket drops.
