FIFA Collect AMA — Key Takeaways

RTB Conversion Window

• RTB → ticket conversion targeted for mid-November 2025 (to be confirmed).
• Two weeks’ notice before RTBs become untradable and conversion starts.
• Pay in full during conversion (credit card or USDC; more options possible).
• Prices will be in line with Visa pre-sale draw; exact matching not guaranteed.
• Phase 0 (Preparation): ~2 weeks before conversion, RTBs become not tradable.
• Phase 3 action: conversion involves burning eligible RTBs, which transfers to Digital Collectible Tickets.

What You Get

• RTBs convert into Digital Collectible Tickets (NFTs); these should be tradable on the FIFA Collect marketplace (final confirmation pending) and may incur a marketplace fee.
• May/June 2026: NFTs convert into QR-code tickets in the official app.
• Final QR tickets transferable to friends/family via email/FIFA ID; not resellable on FIFA resale.
• Categories: Cat 1 (70%) · Cat 2 (28%) · Cat 3 (2%); no Cat 4 currently.
• Seat grouping requests supported if you hold multiple RTBs for the same match. Seats converted together should be seated together.

Payment & Pricing

• Pay with credit card or USDC.
• Prices are fixed across the entire conversion window (no day-by-day changes).
• FIFA sets the official price table; team lobbying for best Visa pre-sale rates.
• Mexican residents may face local resale price limits per consumer rules.

Allocation, Categories & Seating

• RTBs come from a set-aside allocation that remains untouched until the conversion window.
• Availability of Cat 1/2/3 may vary by stadium; categories are subject to availability.
• If purchasing two tickets on one RTB, both must be the same category. With separate RTBs, you may hold different categories.
• Burning your RTB is what triggers eligibility during the conversion process.

Priority Access (3 Phases)

Phase 0 (Preparation): ~2 weeks before conversion, RTBs become not tradable.

1. 48 hrs — Black VIP Card holders.
2. 48 hrs — All other badge holders (except club drops / top-30 leaderboard).
3. 14 days — Open to everyone else.

Supply & Future Windows

• Current RTBs nearly exhaust the full allocation.
• If more RTBs are issued later, a new conversion window will be announced.

Other Notes

• Written FAQ and full AMA recap to be published on the official site (aiming within 1–2 days).
• FIFA Collect House likely in New York City (final confirmation pending).
• Disabled seating and family/child seating planned for May/June conversion.
