Club World Cup: Why FIFA Has Reduced Ticket Prices for Inter Miami vs Alh-Ahly

• FIFA has reportedly reduced ticket prices for 2025 Club World Cup, with discounts as low as $4 ahead of the Inter Miami vs Al Ahly match
• Up to four free tickets are up for grabs with a single purchase for the Club World Cup’s opening match
• FIFA also adjusted seating for some venues due to low sales and underwhelming demand ahead of Messi’s match

FIFA has reportedly restricted access to certain sections of stadiums for some Club World Cup matches due to low ticket sales, following a price reduction for the competition.

Ticketing for the event has become a key point of discussion, with FIFA offering a range of prices designed to make the tournament more accessible to fans.

FIFA reduces Club World Cup ticket prices

To increase fan interest, FIFA has taken steps to lower the cost of tickets for the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup ahead of the Inter Miami vs. Al Ahly clash, and this is according to the Daily Mail.

According to the Athletic, while initial reports suggested that the cheapest seats could be as high as $349 (£257), FIFA has worked to offer more affordable options for fans.

On their official ticketing platform, Ticketmaster, tickets have been listed for as low as $67 (£50), offering a chance for many fans to attend.

Moreover, FIFA has partnered with local institutions like Miami Dade College to increase accessibility. The collaboration, which began last year, was aimed at providing students with internship opportunities at FIFA's Miami office.

Recently, FIFA extended this partnership to offer an exclusive deal: students can purchase tickets to the opening match for as little as $20.

Even more enticing, for every ticket bought at this reduced rate, students can receive up to four additional tickets free of charge.

This promotion effectively brings the price of tickets down to as little as $4 (£2.90) per person, making it an incredible deal for those looking to experience the opening match of the tournament, featuring Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami.

Club World Cup ticket availability and venue updates

While ticket prices have been adjusted to make the event more accessible, certain venues have already seen significant demand.

Some upper-level sections at Seattle’s Lumen Field and Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field have been closed to new ticket sales, possibly due to overwhelming demand or logistical issues.
