Yep, an email for each match.

Yep, had emails waiting for me this morning and tickets has appeared in the app. Not SSC tickets. They must be sending them out in batches; I'm sure they'll arrive soon!

Me too. Starting to feel real 😂 Hoping the excitement will soon start to mask the anger at FIFA

Hmm strange. I'm on android and the ticket link on the FIFA World Cup app is essentially a carbon copy of the FIFA ticket website; i.e. everything I can see in one I can see in the other. Nothing has appeared in my FWC2026 Mobile Tickets app yet. Are you on Apple? Perhaps it's different... In any case I'm sure tickets will all arrive in the FWC2026 Mobile Tickets app over the next few days (possibly preceded by an email to confirm). This is the important bit:

You should be able to see ALL of your purchased tickets through the "FIFA World Cup" app (or whatever the Apple equivalent is). The "tickets" section is essentially an embedded version the FIFA ticket website. It should look pretty much identical to the FIFA website when you log in to the ticket purchasing portal (either last min sales or marketplace). From there you should be able to see your ticket purchases. Ticket purchases should have been visible here from as soon as they were purchased. (i.e. https://www.fifa.com/en/tournaments/mens/worldcup/canadamexicousa2026/tickets) The new "FWC2026 Mobile Tickets" app is where the actual tickets will appear (barcodes will activate closer to the time). Suggestion is that tickets have been arriving into the new FWC2026 Mobile Tickets app over the last few days and will continue to be rolled out, so no panic if they haven't arrived yet. (Mine haven't). I believe you get an email when they are ready in the app.

Use https://seatpick.com/world-cup-tickets It compares a few resale sites (including Vivid) and if you go to the filter button you can select "Show prices including seller fees".

That's my point; you need to be able to afford it AND think it's worth it. A lot of people will only tick one of two boxes... Had prices been lower, a majority would have ticked both...

"bargain" is probably the wrong word, but I get the point. Are you likely to pick up a ticket for less any time soon? Unlikely. Are the prices ridiculous? Absolutely. Everyone's circumstances are different. As with anything in life, only you can decide if you can afford it, and if you think it's worth it...

I booked return Brightline trains from Miami to Aventura last week as I was procrastinating - every service had availability. Cost $34 each return. Same journey now costs $155 😮 😮 Fleecing fans at every opportunity!!

Aye I don't really have an issue with people passing SSC tickets on at face value to other fans (or even face value plus fees). As you say, people's circumstances may change. It's those who are clearly members of the SSC and just out to make a profit and are happy to rip off other Scottish fans in the process... 🤬

Kick them out of the SSC. Pretty sure it goes against the T&Cs... There were such limited numbers of tickets for SSC, it's pretty outrageous if someone got a ticket just to sell on for profit whilst thousands of their fellow fans missed out...

Surely now that seat numbers have been allocated there would be a way of the SFA getting hold of the details of whoever is trying to sell them? I'd have thought the SFA might get a copy of seat allocations?

Would be good to know which end the Scottish PMA tickets are at...

Of course you could be right, but I just keep coming back to the question of why they would turn down applications for Cat 1 and 2 tickets if they had plenty to spare... makes no sense to me, and I just struggle to believe they would. Hence I suspect the vast majority of remaining inventory will be Cat 1 and 2 for less desirable games. But who knows!

But I think your ignoring the most important evidence that is available; plenty of people are willing to pay the current prices. No one wants to, but people are. That was not the case with the CWC; the two are a million miles apart. Market value is the highest price of something in an open market, based on the point where buyers and sellers agree. It seems fans are willing to pay for the tickets at FIFA's prices for most games, therefore we are there... I just can't come up with any logical reason why they would hold back millions of tickets if people are willing to buy them at these prices...
