Club World Cup - Summer 2025

Ridiculous prices , $2100 if you want to follow City all the way if we get to the final . $900 for the final. Do they even charge that for the World Cup final? When you add up the accommodation flights and the absurd amount of tipping on everything , I reckon even a very careful budget would be doing well to get out for $6000 to attend the whole event.

In answer to your question - is a big markup on the last world cup (I went all the way to the final).
2026 is going to be the most expensive world cup ever for tickets.
3 weeks ago I was a definite for this tournament but now I am a possible - and I would not say probable. Am appalled at the price.
If you are going for a holiday - good luck to you - but the degree of apathy I see from people who go to european away games is quite noticeable.

That’s not really happened has it.

I’ve been saving for nearly 10 years for the 2026 World Cup in the States next year. £50 a month in a pot with 7 mates. But having seen the ticket prices for this, the corruption endemic in FIFA and Trump in power again, I’m really having second thoughts.

A cricket tour or football trip to Argentina is starting to look more appealing.

Been doing England cricket tours for 20 years and can thoroughly recommend it. SA is the next good one after the overrated Ashes, great country and cheap as chips.
Mind you I'm thinking of cutting back to go and see South America so your alternative looks good as well.

Looking again - those prices are worse than I thought. The seats are behind the goal. Might look into the British Lions Tour.
 
To add to my previous posts I can’t see too many other than North American supporters club fans going so huge prices without much in the way of atmosphere. Saudi Arabia for the 2023 version was a bargain compared to this . And if the event IS well attended, there’ll be a further dry bumming on the accommodation prices.

Airbnb or hotels.com with a complimentary tube of KY jelly.

Thanks - I was actually able to buy all the tickets I needed under one code, which was multiple per game so I don’t think it is restricting to one per person at all - just for info for anyone else.

Either way I’ve got my tickets! Philly and Orlando games here we come!

Not sure about that as I have 3 access codes but whether I try and buy either 1 ticket with each access code or 3 with one access code either way it doesnt f'in work. Three logins and buy them one each will work of course then we are sitting apart. You can ask to sit together but they 'can not guarantee it'. Perhaps allowing you to buy three tickets at the same time may bloody help
 
I got 2 for Juventus earlier, going to be in Florida in June to visit family anyway so have made sure the dates work so I can get a game in. Went for the upper tier at $107 each, didn't fancy paying $187 and be stuck low down behind a goal and not be able to see down the the other end.

Would have preferred to see us play a team that wasn't from Europe that we wouldn't normally play but never mind.

Fair play to any blue doing any game but especially trying to do all of them

Hi much did it cost roughly?

Annoying as this may be, can't give you a single number as depends on how you do it. Biggest variables are flights and hotel. I had Air Miles so my flight was cheap and my very decent hotel was around £70/night. Flights can be expensive so worth seeing what routes and dates are cheapest and you can obviously pay more or less on hotels depending on budget. Tickets were around £20-30 except for Boca where I had to go via an agency which cost $150. Once there, depending on the very variable exchange rate and whether you can access unofficial exchange rates (which is actually quite easy), it was very cheap. Vey good steak, chips and beer round the corner from my hotel was £12. Biggest pain is the admin; given the controls on match attendance unless you go with an agency and pay through the nose you need to become a member of the relevant club (generally around £10-15) in order to be able to buy a ticket. So I am now a member at River, Racing, San Lorenzo and Independiente (plus CNDF in Montevideo). It's all manageable but just takes a lot of time to register as a foreigner, get your membership number, then buy a ticket which often go on sale only a few days before and then load it to you membership. But I got to Deportivo Riestra, River, Racing, Argentinos Juniors, San Lorenzo,CNDF, Independiente and Boca with broadly no hassle at all. 10 days watching footie in the sun, eating steak and drinking red wine or beer was not a bad way to spend a week and a half!

I’ve been invited to go to Argentina with some old RAF mates in September they got really cheap return flights £600! At the time I couldn’t go but now I can same flight is £1200, I’m still debating what to do, USA to watch city for a week or Argentina for two weeks.

On the bucket list!
 
Going to the first two games. Booked flight from Manchester to New York (£490 with aer Lingus). Will train it to Philly 1.5 hours and about $30 return if booked in advance. Then fly to Atlanta $186 return. Hotels pricey in NY and Atlanta. Reckon the travel, match tickets and hotels will cost about £1800 all in. Possibly could do it a bit cheaper if I stay in Philly a few nights instead of NY.

This is my first trip after retirement hopefully for about a month. BA, Montevideo, Cordoba, Pampas & Pategonia. I'd kind of accepted that Boca & River Plate might be difficult to get tickets to & have watched a few San Lorenzo vids on Youtube & it looks mint. Is it right that as a tourist you only get access to certain parts of the stadium ie not the mental parts? Also which was the best ground for atmosphere & also pre match outside the stadium?

Hotels not pricy in Atlanta, if you stay slightly outside downtown and use the $2.50 per ride MARTA (same as metrolink) to get in/out. Happy to provide help for any blue visiting Atlanta, just PM me.

This sounds an amazing trip. I went to Argentina on my honeymoon. Took the wife to see Argentina v Paraguay at River Plate’s open, concrete bowl. It absolutely pissed it down. The wife wasn’t best pleased!
