Need a World Cup ticket? Enter Mamdani's lottery for a $50 seat | amNewYork
Tickets for World Cup matches at MetLife Stadium will cost $50 each and include free round-trip bus transportation from New York City. The lottery will run from May 25 at 10 a.m. to May 30 at midnight on regnyctix.com. New York City residents ages 15 and up may enter once per day, with a daily cap of 50,000 entries. Winners will be notified on June 3 and may purchase up to two tickets. Eligibility is limited to city residents and verified before tickets are issued. Discounted tickets cover five group-stage matches and two knockout-round games, with about 150 seats set aside per match. Tickets are nontransferable to prevent scalping, and winners receive tickets at the official bus pickup location on match day.
"The discounted tickets will cover five group-stage matches and two knockout-round games, with about 150 seats set aside for each match. Mamdani said the city is trying to make sure residents do not need political connections or insider access to get into the stadium. Your chance on getting these tickets is not impacted at all by who you know, he said. We want to open the tournament to working people who couldn't otherwise afford it, not to scalpers. City officials said the tickets will be nontransferable to prevent scalping."
