"Fifa's terms indicate payment should be made within 60 calendar days of a transaction,, external but some people who sold tickets on the website in early October have still not received their money. Fifa, which has come under criticism for its World Cup ticket pricing, declined to provide a statement explaining the delays. BBC Sport understands the issues stem from Fifa needing to obtain additional bank details from those affected before payments can be processed."
"England supporter Iain is owed nearly 650 for a ticket he sold 65 days ago for Canada's opening game in Toronto, money he had hoped to put towards England seats now the fixtures have been confirmed. "Fifa are generating billions from this World Cup but can't seem to do basic payment processing on time," he said. "The delay looks to be impacting many people.""
Thousands of pounds remain unpaid to World Cup 2026 ticket sellers who used Fifa's official resale marketplace. Fifa's terms state payments should occur within 60 calendar days, but sellers who listed tickets in early October report delays beyond that timeframe. The affected tickets were from a pre-sale draw in September limited to Visa cardholders, when one million tickets were available. Some sellers say they received emails requesting additional bank details despite earlier notices that refunds would go automatically to the original payment card. Fifa declined to explain the delays. The resale platform opened on 2 October and charges a 15% fee to both buyer and seller.
