If you’re looking to catch a FIFA World Cup game in Canada, one new avenue to get tickets is officially open.
But you might have to budget accordingly.
Hospitality tickets — often known as box seats or suite tickets— went on sale Monday at 10 a.m. for the majority of the matches at the two Canadian venues.
Packages are available for non-Canada group stage matches, as well as a pair of round of 32 knockout matches in each city. Nine of the 13 total matches taking place in Canada are now on sale. The packages are run through partner company On Location, which is handling the hospitality packages for the whole tournament.
Seven FIFA World Cup games are scheduled for Vancouver and six for Toronto. Vancouver will host matches from June 13 through July 7, while Toronto has matches from June 12 to July 7.
Tickets are currently available in Canada (as well as in the United States and Mexico) in five different tiers.
Here’s what each pricing level of the package looks like in Canada, per match, per ticket:
- Trophy Lounge:
- VIP:
- Pitchside Lounge: $5,350 and up
Here’s what the approximate location of each section looks like in Toronto:
And here’s how they line up in Vancouver:
All levels of the hospitality tickets also include food and drinks, with pre-match and post-match service available on all five tiers, and halftime service available on the top three tiers. Each match will have specific food items catered to the countries playing that day.
“We’re committed to making sure that we really lean into the local culture and then also lean into the culture of the teams that are actually going to be participating,” On Location’s senior vice president of production, Leah Linke, explained in an interview.
Tickets for the rest of the stadium are yet to have a sale date announced, but you can register your interest, should you want to be included in the process.
