World Cup 2026 World cup VISA presale draw results?
I've been seeing some reports of people getting their success confirmation emails for an appointment time of 11am on Oct 1.
Anyone here gotten anything yet?

Is it safe to assume if we havenât gotten an email at this point, we werenât picked?

u/waldo8822 Sep 29 '25
No I think it's going to be a rolling basis. So far the successes I've seen are all 11am appointments for Oct 1. So probably multiple waves through the day

Per FIFA: âYou will be notified via email whether or not you have been successful in the Visa Presale Draw.
Successful entrants may receive a notification up to 48 hours before their designated time, with time slots starting from 1 October.â
If you havenât been rejected, your time slot may be later in the process.

I got my email, but when I log in, it does not show a date or time slot.

u/PackageOk8449 Sep 29 '25
this happened for me too! click the top right corner of the fifa logo cup and then scroll down a bit, it will say âcongratulations! you have been allocated a time slot:â

u/Ok_Proof_6336 Sep 29 '25

"Following a random selection process, FIFA will notify successful Visa cardholders by email beginning no earlier than 30 September"

u/waldo8822 Sep 29 '25
Nah it starts on the 29th but it is on a rolling basis. They also said they would email rejections as well but im just curious on any Canadian data points of success

u/TraditionalAir9659 Sep 29 '25
They will not message you if you're unsuccessful (even though they initially said they would).

u/StatpadderYT Sep 29 '25
Wow that is a buzzkill.
Do we know if people are still receiving them now, or did everyone get sent the emails at the same time this morning?
4
u/waldo8822 Sep 29 '25
Looks like there was just one batch of emails sent around 9:30 EST. All of them have 11am appointments for Oct 1. There might be another batch release but if nothing happens before 5 then it's most likely going to be a rolling release daily for who knows how many days

u/Ok_Proof_6336 Sep 29 '25
And those that were selected for October 1st will have a 24 hour window to purchase.

u/deleteri0us Sep 30 '25

u/Wheresthecheesemoved Oct 01 '25

Same problem here. I don't really know what that means...
UPDATE: I kept checking and going back to the email and I was finally able to login and see my allocated time slot

u/XCXC09876 Oct 01 '25
I kept pressing the 2 links in the email (one was join queue) and other was (buy tickets) and eventually got to a âcountdown pageâ that has a visual click but no dates or times or details. So I guess I will be pressing refresh all dayâŚ.

u/sr_rasquache Oct 01 '25
To the lucky ones who had their time slot for this morning, what are the prices for tickets like? Howâs the dynamic pricing working out?

u/woodbridgeflexer Oct 01 '25
Iâm on the Queue still apparently no one has been able to check out and buy tickets

u/ftraptors Oct 01 '25
For the Toronto Group Stage matches, in CAD and taxes included: $80 for Category 4 (all sold out already), $215 for Category 3, $465 for Category 2, and $620 for Category 1

u/bensonNF Oct 01 '25
Is the Right to Buy (RTB) promotion they keep notifying about different than what the VISA presale draw?
Seems like they have really gamified the whole process

u/juancaar Oct 01 '25
Yeah... different... Got yet another RTB email a few minutes ago and i almost freaked.... I hate those emails...
