How to Get FIFA World Cup Tickets for Kansas City Matches

The FIFA World Cup is coming to Kansas City, and demand for tickets to matches at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium is already one of the hottest topics in the sports world.

Fans across the metro—including right here in Overland Park—are looking for the safest, most reliable way to secure seats to see international teams compete live.

At McCarthy Chevrolet Overland Park, we’re breaking down where to find tickets, what sources are official, and what to avoid so you don’t miss out on the action.


🎟️ The ONLY Official Source for World Cup Tickets

The most important thing to know:

👉 FIFA is the official and preferred ticket provider for the World Cup.

All legitimate tickets for Kansas City matches (and every host city) are released through FIFA’s official ticketing system.

You can start here:

FIFA uses a structured release system, meaning tickets are typically sold in phases (lotteries, early sales, and later releases depending on availability).


🏟️ Kansas City Match Tickets (Arrowhead Stadium)

Kansas City will host multiple World Cup matches at:

👉 GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium
https://www.chiefs.com/stadium/

Tickets for these matches are part of FIFA’s global allocation and may include:

  • Group stage matches
  • Knockout stage matches
  • Limited premium hospitality packages

Availability depends on demand, matchups, and release phase timing.


⚠️ Be Careful With Third-Party Ticket Sites

You may also see tickets listed on resale platforms, but it’s important to understand the risk:

  • Third-party sites are not official FIFA partners
  • Prices can be significantly higher than face value
  • Ticket validity is not always guaranteed

Sources across the ticketing industry confirm that resale platforms like StubHub or SeatGeek operate as secondary marketplaces and carry additional risk compared to FIFA’s direct portal.


🎟️ How FIFA Ticket Sales Typically Work

FIFA ticketing usually happens in phases:

1. Registration Phase

Fans create a FIFA ID and register interest early.

2. Lottery / Draw Phase

Tickets are allocated through random selection.

3. First-Come Sales Phase

Remaining inventory is released in limited drops.

4. Last-Minute Releases

Additional seats may be released closer to match dates.

Because demand is extremely high for Kansas City matches, many games sell out quickly after each release phase.


🌍 Other Legit Ways Fans Get Tickets

While FIFA is the primary source, there are a few other official pathways:

  • 🏨 Hospitality packages (premium experiences through FIFA partners)
  • 🎟️ Limited resale through FIFA’s own authorized system
  • 🌎 Fan travel packages that include tickets + accommodations

These options are designed for fans who want guaranteed access, but they often come at a higher price point.


🚗 McCarthy Tip: Plan Transportation Early

If you’re lucky enough to secure tickets, match days in Kansas City will be packed:

  • Heavy traffic around Arrowhead Stadium
  • Limited parking availability
  • Early arrival requirements
  • Large crowds from across the world

That’s why many fans are planning ahead with SUVs and trucks for:

  • Group travel
  • Tailgating gear
  • Easy metro transportation
  • Comfort on long game days

⚽ Final Whistle

Getting World Cup tickets isn’t just about clicking a link—it’s about knowing where to look and acting quickly when official FIFA releases happen.

For Kansas City matches, the safest path is always through FIFA’s official ticketing system, with occasional authorized hospitality options for premium experiences.

At McCarthy Chevrolet Overland Park, we’re excited to see KC become a global soccer destination—and we’re here to help you get there comfortably when match day arrives.

Because in 2026… Kansas City won’t just host the World Cup—it will live it.

How to Prep for NFL Tailgating in a New Chevrolet

Football season is back, which means it's time for big plays, cold drinks, good food, and even better tailgates. If you're headed to an NFL game this season, the right Chevrolet can help make getting ready for game day a whole lot easier. Whether you're bringing the entire crew or keeping things simple, here's how to prep your Chevy for the ultimate tailgate. 1. Pick the Right Chevrolet for Your Tailgate Before you start loading up, think about what your tailgate actually requires. A Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is a great choice when you need room for coolers, folding tables, chairs, grills, and other game-day gear. The truck bed gives you a separate space to haul the big stuff. Explore Chevrolet Silverado 1500 inventory Need to bring the whole crew? A Chevrolet Traverse, Tahoe, or Suburban gives you plenty of passenger and cargo space for a group heading to the game. Explore Chevrolet SUVs 2. Make a Game-Day Packing List The worst feeling at a tailgate is realizing you left something important at home. Before leaving, make sure you've got the essentials: Cooler and drinks Food and cooking supplies Folding chairs Table Plates, cups, and utensils Trash bags Ice Portable speaker Team gear Chargers Sunscreen And don't forget the most important item: your game tickets. 3. Take Advantage of Your Chevrolet's Storage Don't just toss everything into the vehicle and hope it fits. Use cargo compartments, under-floor storage, seatback pockets, and the available cargo area to keep smaller items organized. If you're driving a Silverado, use the truck bed for your larger items and keep things you might need during the drive secured and protected. 4. Bring the Right Vehicle for the Crew Tailgating is more fun with more people, and a Chevrolet Traverse, Tahoe, or Suburban can make it easier to bring the entire group along. Need space for football gear, coolers, chairs, backpacks, and passengers? A larger SUV can give you the flexibility to bring what you need without turning the cabin into a game of Tetris. 5. Get Your Chevy Ready Before Game Day Before heading out for your first big tailgate, make sure your vehicle is ready for the drive. Check your tires, fluids, battery, brakes, lights, and windshield wipers. If you're traveling a longer distance or hauling a heavy load, taking care of routine maintenance ahead of time can give you one less thing to worry about. Schedule service at McCarthy Chevrolet Overland Park 6. Don't Forget About the Drive Home A great tailgate doesn't end when the game starts. After the final whistle, make sure everyone has their belongings, clean up your tailgate area, secure your cargo, and head home safely. And remember: never drive if you've been drinking. Plan ahead with a designated driver or another safe transportation option.
