FIFA World Cup 2026 Tickets with Points: What's Live Now
The lots below update automatically. Bids and closing times move fast; for the full current state of each program, the [Marriott Bonvoy](/programs/marriott-bonvoy) and [Qatar Airways Privilege Club](/programs/qatar-airways) program pages are always live.
The 2026 World Cup kicked off in mid-June, and if you assumed your shot at tickets ended months ago, the loyalty platforms disagreed. As the tournament ran, knockout-round ticket and hospitality packages kept surfacing for points bidding across two programs: Marriott Bonvoy Moments and Qatar Airways Privilege Club. A few lots can still be live even now, deep into the knockout stage, so the block below shows exactly what is open this minute.
PointAuctions.com tracks both platforms continuously, so here is the complete picture, with current bids and the dates each auction actually closes. (Live snapshot verified as of July 2026; the knockout auctions closed through early July, so the section below now leans on how those lots actually cleared.)
What's live right now
If nothing is live above, the closing prices tell the fuller story. Here is how Qatar's FIFA lots actually settled once verified at close:
And the Marriott Bonvoy Moments side:
The Qatar Airways side: knockout match tickets for Avios
Qatar Airways Privilege Club ran official FIFA match-ticket lots (two Category 1 tickets each), bid in Avios. Mid-tournament they looked quiet: the quarterfinal auctions sat near 300,000 Avios with little bidding, and the semifinals near 600,000. But quiet openings are not quiet closes. In our tracking, Qatar's Final (Match 104) lots ultimately cleared around 2,000,000 Avios once verified at close, an order of magnitude above where the mid-tournament snapshot suggested. Across all of Qatar Airways' verified sports closes, the median lands at 180,872 Avios — proof that the biggest matches are where the real bidding concentrated.
Treat your bid as binding and the dates as fixed. Qatar's live knockout lots (quarterfinals, semifinals and the Final) shared the same 19:59 GMT closing deadline during the tournament, so always check the exact close time shown on each lot rather than assuming one round goes first. You are bidding on a specific match in a specific city.
The Marriott Bonvoy side: two-ticket packages
Marriott's Moments platform ran "FIFA World Cup 2026 Tickets, thanks to Visa" packages, each for two tickets, in the days before the final matches:
| Location | Package dates | Opening bid | Auctions close |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dallas | July 13 (two packages) | 80,000 points | July 1 |
| East Rutherford, NJ | July 18 (two packages, eve of the July 19 final) | 110,000 points | July 1 |
The East Rutherford listing date was the eve of the final at MetLife, so the lot details spelled out exactly what each package covered.
For context, when Marriott auctioned the same "thanks to Visa" two-ticket FIFA packages this spring, the verified closes ran from about 50,000 points at the low end to seven figures at the high end, with a typical clear right around 410,000 points (verified as of July 2026; you can see how the spring lots actually cleared in our closed-auction archive, and how each program's auctions price out in our closed-auction data by program). Across Marriott's full run of verified sports closes, the median sits at 312,500 points, and the spread is wide, from 2,500 to 3,002,500 points.
Median: 312,500 points
520 verified closes · median 312,500 points · updated monthly
Marriott also ran World Cup tickets as 1-Point Drops earlier this year, and that wave was over by summer. The auction lane is what was left.
How to think about the price
Whether a 300,000-Avios semifinal or a Marriott package that opens near 100,000 points is a good deal depends entirely on what the equivalent seat costs in cash, and for knockout-round hospitality there often is not a clean cash comparison left this late. Our cents-per-point framework is the way to sanity-check your ceiling before you bid, not after.
One practical note beyond the binding-bid warning above: set your maximum and let proxy bidding work. Auctions like these concentrate all their action in the final hours, which is exactly why the mid-tournament "quiet" quarterfinals ended up clearing so much higher.
The bottom line
The World Cup being underway did not end the points route. It just moved it to the knockout rounds, where the auctions were thinner and quieter on the surface than the group-stage frenzy this spring, but where the verified closes ran highest of all. Check the actual close datetime shown on each lot, set a max, and let proxy bidding do the work. Once these close, see how knockout-round FIFA lots actually cleared in our auction results archive.
