When buying or receiving FIFA tickets, it's important to understand the difference between an Ownership Transfer (Web Ticket Transfer) and a Guest Transfer (Mobile App Transfer). These transfer methods provide different rights and responsibilities for the receiver.
What is an Ownership Transfer (Web Ticket Transfer)?
An Ownership Transfer is completed through FIFA's official ticketing website using the Ticket Transfer feature.
When a ticket is transferred this way, the receiver becomes the new ticket owner. The original owner's rights to the ticket are transferred to the receiver .What rights does the new owner receive?
Once the transfer is accepted, the new owner may be able to:
Manage the ticket through their FIFA ticketing account.
Transfer the ticket to another person (subject to FIFA's rules and restrictions).
Attend the match using the ticket.
How does the receiver accept the transfer?
The receiver must accept the transfer through the official FIFA web ticketing portal, where the ownership transfer was initiated.
Important: A Web Ticket Transfer cannot be accepted through the FIFA mobile ticketing app.
2. What is a Guest Transfer (Mobile App Transfer)?
A Guest Transfer is typically completed through the FIFA mobile ticketing app.
With this transfer method, the ticket is provided to the receiver for stadium entry, but ownership remains with the original ticket holder.
What rights does the guest receive?
The guest can:
Access and use the ticket to enter the stadium.
The guest generally cannot:
Transfer the ticket to another person.
Manage ownership-related ticket functions.
Become the official ticket owner.
If the guest no longer needs the ticket, it usually must be returned to the original owner, who can then manage or resend it.
How does the receiver accept the transfer?
The receiver must accept the ticket through the FIFA mobile ticketing app, where the guest transfer was initiated.
Important: A Guest Transfer cannot be accepted through the FIFA web ticketing portal.
