Desperate football fans face being scammed by fake ticket sites set up to sell World Cup tickets. To avoid falling into the trap, follow these tips to spot scams.
Fake websites often have URLs that resemble the original sites with minor differences, such as fifa.com becoming filfa.org or fifa-2026.xyz.
Legitimate sites must display a legally compliant imprint, so if a website doesn't have one, it's likely not a legitimate site.
Use online tools like the Fakeshop-Finder to check if a site is legit or not.
Check when a site was registered at www.whois.com to ensure it's not a new scam site.
FIFA currently has thousands of official tickets left, but they're expensive, with the cheapest tickets going for $2,000.
Verified ticket resale sites like Seatgeek, StubHub, and Vivid offer FIFA tickets at lower prices, and purchases are legally valid.
