How to buy USA vs Australia tickets?
As of today, the major official World Cup ticket lotteries (including the Visa Presale and early Random Selection Draws) have concluded. With record-breaking demand, primary availability via the initial phases is now extremely limited.
Here is the current status of ticket sales:
- Last-Minute Sales Phase: This phase is currently live and operates on a first-come, first-served basis. Unlike the lotteries, these are real-time transactions. This is the final window to buy directly from FIFA.
- Official FIFA Resale Marketplace: This is the only authorized platform for fans to buy and sell verified tickets at face value. It will remain open until the end of the tournament.
- Secondary Marketplaces: Fans can also find tickets on platforms like StubHub. These are often the best options for high-demand knockout games, though prices may vary from face value. Always check the T&Cs of the secondary site before purchasing.

Everything you need to know about Lumen Field
Lumen Field is a multi-purpose stadium in Seattle, which has been home to the NFL's Seattle Seahawks since opening in 2002. In more recent times, MLS's Seattle Sounders and NWSL's Seattle Reign have become regular tenants too.
While it only has a capacity of 37,722 for most MLS matches, this will increase to an NFL-size level (approximately 69,000) for the six World Cup 2026 games being staged there.
Seahawks fans at Lumen Field have twice claimed the Guinness World Record for loudest crowd roar at an outdoor stadium, in 2013 and 2014. The venue’s design includes a partial roof that covers 70% of the seating area, which effectively contains and amplifies fan noise to create what’s known as the '12th Man' advantage.
Lumen Field warmed up for its FIFA World Cup 2026 hosting responsibilities last year, when staging six matches during the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. Those matches drew an attendance of over 210,000 total spectators, with crowds of 50,000+ at two Seattle Sounders' matches (vs Atletico Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain).
