1. Do children need their own ticket for the third-place match?

Yes, every attendee occupying a seat needs their own ticket and linked account, including infants, as there is no lap-child exemption for World Cup matches.

2. What happens to my ticket if the match goes to extra time or penalties?

Your ticket covers the full match at no extra cost, and a level bronze final goes to extra time and then a penalty shoot-out to decide third place.

3. Is hospitality available for the bronze final?

Yes, single-match hospitality packages that pair a premium seat with lounge dining are sold for the play-off, at prices well above a standard ticket.

4. Can I buy a bronze-final ticket and a final ticket on one order?

No, the two matches are on different days at different stadiums, so each is a separate ticket bought for its own fixture.

5. How many bronze-final tickets can one person buy?

Up to four tickets per match through the organiser, within an overall household cap across the tournament, with larger groups pointed towards hospitality.

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