1. Do extra time and penalties come with my ticket if the tie is level?

Yes, a single ticket covers the full match, including 30 minutes of extra time and a penalty shootout if the score is still level.

2. Does a Round of 16 ticket also get me into the quarter-final?

No, every match needs its own ticket, and the only way to cover several knockout games with one purchase is a hospitality series.

3. How many Round of 16 tickets can one person buy?

The standard limit is four tickets per match for each buyer, and the only route past it is a hospitality package.

4. Do I need a visa as well as a ticket to attend?

Yes, a ticket is not a visa, so you must arrange the relevant United States, Canadian or Mexican entry permit separately and in good time.

5. Can I resell my seat once the teams are confirmed?

You can relist the seat on the organiser's resale marketplace until one hour before kick-off, but you cannot swap it for a different match.

The best marketplace for live event tickets since 2006. Every order is 150% guaranteed. Prices may differ from face value.
