Club World Cup 2025 tickets are not available, FIFA has to invite students?

TPO - The opening match of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup is selling out, forcing the organizers to apply a buy 1 get 4 free policy for students.

When Inter Miami and Egyptian side Al-Ahly open the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup on June 15, all eyes will be on Lionel Messi, not just the stands. The biggest danger is that the stands will likely be empty.

Although this match features Messi, the “king of ticket sales” of MLS, but at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, it seems that not many fans are interested. The proof is that the opening match of the tournament is facing the risk of unsold tickets, forcing the organizers to deeply discount, even buy 1 get 4 free.

According to Marca, FIFA is implementing a series of promotions to ensure every seat is filled to build its image. They agreed to bring tickets to students at a university in the US.

Opening match has Messi but tickets are still sold out

Students received a $20 ticket deal, along with a buy-one-get-four-free offer. The offer was sent via email and was only accessible to those who could verify their enrollment at the school.

Marca commented: "This is a very kind offer from the Swiss-based sports organization in difficult economic times."

FIFA isn’t the only one struggling, as are its ticketing partners. Ticketmaster has slashed ticket prices from $230 to $55 in an effort to convince undecided fans to attend the match.

The selling price is being deeply discounted, proving that the attraction of the tournament is not great. Maybe the matches between big teams attract fans. But after a stressful season, the players are physically exhausted, will they play to their full potential when on the field?
