How do I get tickets?
FIFA held multiple phases of ticket sale draws ahead of this summer’s tournament, all of which have since concluded.
It says last-minute sales will begin in early April, when tickets will be allocated on a first-come, first-serve basis.
FIFA has its own ticket resale and exchange marketplace, which is currently closed but slated to reopen on April 2 at 11 a.m. EST.
Tickets are being sold on resale sites like StubHub.ca. At time of writing, the cheapest tickets on offer for Canada’s June 12 game in Toronto are going for $3,713 each.
The cheapest resale tickets for other games, like Germany vs. Côte d’Ivoire and Ghana vs. Panama are going for $1,080 and $721, respectively.
How is the city marking the 100-day countdown?
Toronto is marking the 100-day countdown by hosting a free, public celebration at Rebel nightclub on Tuesday.
In a news release, the city said the event will feature cultural programming and live performances. Toronto FC says it will also have a presence at the event.
The party kicks off at 5:30 p.m.
During the tournament, the city will host its FIFA Fan Festival at Fort York and The Bentway.
