And that's no joke.

FIFA announced Wednesday that a fourth and final phase of ticket sales will take place starting at 11 a.m. ET on April 1 and will remain open through the end of the tournament.

Tickets in the "Last-Minute Sales Phase" will be available to the general public on a first-come, first-served basis through FIFA's official ticketing website, where fans will be able to select specific seats for various available matches or use a "book the best seat" feature.

Availability of seats could change frequently as tickets will be released on a rolling basis, including some same-day tickets for matches, according to FIFA.

FIFA's official resale and exchange platform will reopen on April 2. Initially open from October 2025 through Feb. 22, this marketplace is intended to prevent unauthorized or invalid ticket sales as demand for tickets continues to be high, with FIFA reporting that the all-time attendance record of 3.5 million set during the 1994 World Cup is expected to be surpassed this summer.

The 48-team World Cup opens on June 11, with matches taking place across the United States, Mexico and Canada.
