World Cup 2026 Tickets are Available Already - Don't be Scammed (they're Fake)
World Cup 2026 Tickets are Available Already - Don't be Scammed (they're Fake) originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Soccer fans across America are buzzing with excitement for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, set to be hosted in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. With 104 matches and an expanded 48-team format, it's shaping up to be the biggest World Cup ever. But before you rush to snag fake tickets, here's a critical heads-up: those listings you're seeing on Vivid Seats? FIFA haven't even released any tickets yet Vivid Seats, a popular ticket resale platform, has already posted ads for 2026 World Cup tickets, with prices ranging from $1,500 to a jaw-dropping $60,000 for premium seats. The hopefully obvious catch? FIFA, the governing body of the World Cup, hasn't released any tickets yet. Advertisement Official sales won't start until late 2025, exclusively through This means any tickets listed now on Vivid Seats or similar resale sites like StubHub are speculative at best and potentially fraudulent at worst. Related: Is the Club World Cup's Flashy Makeover Ruining Football? Victims of fake ticket deals often end up more than just out of pocket. FIFA has issued clear warnings to fans, urging them to steer clear of unofficial ticketing sites. In a statement to ESPN, FIFA emphasized that tickets bought from unauthorized sources risk being canceled, leaving buyers out of pocket and without a seat. The organization faced similar issues in 2018, when it filed a criminal complaint against resale site Viagogo for selling fraudulent World Cup tickets. Vivid Seats' listings have raised red flags, especially after reports surfaced of incorrect match details, like a Bay Area game labeled 'Match 63, Group G,' which FIFA's schedule confirms is actually set for Seattle. It is where the Scalpers go to fill their bank accounts and empty yours The problem isn't just about fake tickets. Scalpers thrive on platforms like Vivid Seats, driving prices to astronomical levels. For context, official ticket prices for the 2022 Qatar World Cup ranged from $11 for group-stage matches to $1,600 for the final's best seats. Advertisement Resale sites, however, often inflate costs far beyond face value, pricing out everyday fans. With the 2026 World Cup's massive scale, 108 matches across 16 cities, the scalpers are banking on hype to lure eager buyers early. So, how can you protect yourself? First, only buy tickets through FIFA's official channel, once sales open. Register on the site now to get alerts for when tickets drop. Second, be wary of deals that seem too good to be true or listings on secondary markets before official sales begin. If you're set on hospitality packages, those will be available through FIFA's partner, On Location, starting late 2024, but again, stick to official sources. The 2026 World Cup promises to be a historic event, but don't let excitement cloud your judgment. Save your money and avoid the scalpers' trap. Wait for FIFA's official release to secure your spot in the stands.

Vampire Weekend has four shows in New Jersey. How much do tickets cost?
Vivid Seats is the New York Post's official ticketing partner. We may receive revenue from this partnership for sharing this content and/or when you make a purchase. Featured pricing is subject to change. Vampire Weekend is returning to their roots. The beloved indie group — who just launched the second leg of their 'Only God Was Above Us Tour' — announced that, due to overwhelming demand, they are playing four concerts at lead singer Ezra Koenig's hometown-adjacent Wellmont Theater in Montclair, NJ. These highly-anticipated concerts are set to take place Monday, Sept. 15, Tuesday, Sept. 16, Wednesday, Sept. 17 and Thursday, Sept. 18 at the intimate venue, which can only fit 2,137 audience members. Advertisement As an added dose of nostalgia, Koenig's high school band, The Sophisticuffs, will open all four shows. 'Sophisticuffs was a Glen Ridge, NJ band active from roughly 1999-2002,' the band shared via Instagram. 'Ezra was a member ages 15-17 along with his good friends Wes, Steve, Dan and Andrei. They played the vast majority of their shows in Montclair, usually at Serendipity (in the Congregational Church) or at the Possible Side Effects improv events under the Clairidge Theater. They dabbled in surf, post-rock, Christmas, punk and pop music. Ezra is thrilled to reunite onstage with the band for the first time since high school. You can expect to hear [their] songs like 'Chicken Dance,' 'Hello Professor,' and 'Great Expectations.'' While it's likely Sophisticuffs will stick to a fairly strict set list, we'd expect anything but for Vampire Weekend. At their most recent shows, they've been mixing things up and ending their sets with all-over-the-map encores where they play a number of covers requested by the audience, as reported by Set List FM. Advertisement If this sounds like the freewheeling show for you, tickets are available for all four homecoming Vampire Weekend New Jersey concerts as of today. At the time of publication, the lowest price we could find on seats for any one Wellmont Theater show was $83 including fees on Vivid Seats. Their other three shows have tickets starting anywhere from $111 to $132 including fees. Not bad to see Vampire Weekend and The Sophisticuffs up close and personal in a much smaller venue than they typically play.

'Ya Hey' Advertisement Note: Based on our findings, the band mixed up what they played most nights. For a fuller look at what made the set list at other gigs, check out their complete concert history here. Vampire Weekend new music On April 5, 2024, Vampire Weekend released their fifth studio album 'Only God Was Above Us.' In the very off chance you haven't listened yet, the guys still have the goods. The precise yet ramshackle opener 'Ice Cream Piano' is a slice of piano pop heaven with pounding percussions, swirling strings and washed out guitar mixed in over Koenig's lush vocals. From there, the goofy 'Classical' finds one groove, settles into another and becomes something entirely different. Oftentimes, 'OGWAU' is so inspired that it struggles to sit with one melody or idea for too long; this isn't a knock on the group though. The band's restlessness keeps the listener on their toes in the best way. Advertisement 'Capricorn,' the third track, oscillates between twinkly piano ballad and noise rock; Koenig's soft, unassuming lyrics ('I know you're tired of trying baby, you don't have to try' is a standout) glide over lush keys until the tune hurtles into overdrive two minutes in with discordant noise-rock before bringing it back to basics. For the remainder of the brief 47-minute runtime, Vampire Weekend continue to surprise and innovate. 'Connect' marries DIY banging on drums with synthetic autotune; 'Prep School Gangsters' takes a page out of The Beach Boys' laid-band, seaside playbook. Although each song features the same ingredients (and all sound unmistakably Vampire Weekend-ian) the end result is unique each time. In the back half, 'The Surfer' goes a more lo-fi airy route than the five tunes that preceded it yet still features majestic swirls. 'Gen-X Cops' transitions from an out and out garage rock anthem into something a bit more precious — a hard driving, head-bopping indie anthem. Best of all though, might be the melancholy, triumphant, choir-backed 'Mary Boone.' It fits squarely into this critic's favorite genre: the heartbreaking, singalong anthem that gives you goosebumps every time you hear it. Closing us out is the charming thumper 'Pravda' (which just might be the most perfect 'making dinner' song to ever exist) and 'Hope,' an eight-minute epic with the refrain 'I Hope You Let It Go.'

We found the best prices on Jennifer Lopez Las Vegas concert tickets
Vivid Seats is the New York Post's official ticketing partner. We may receive revenue from this partnership for sharing this content and/or when you make a purchase. Featured pricing is subject to change. We're calling it now. Jennifer Lopez winter is on the way. The ageless pop star is already generating Oscar buzz for her upcoming musical 'Kiss of the Spider Woman' due out in October and recently announced she's headlining a 12-concert Las Vegas residency at The Colosseum at Caesar's Palace. Advertisement Titled 'Up All Night: Live In Las Vegas,' the dozen Sin City J-Lo shows are scheduled to take place from Dec. 30, 2025 through March 28, 2026. This run won't be the 'Maid in Manhattan' starlet's first in the Entertainment Capital of the World; from 2016-18, she performed 120 shows at Planet Hollywood as part of her 'Jennifer Lopez: All I Have Residency.' At those shows, she typically delivered a 20+ song, seven-act set that included classic hits like 'On The Floor,' 'Waiting For Tonight,' 'Let's Get Loud,' 'Jenny From The Block' and 'Love Don't Cost A Thing' among others. And, while we aren't sure what will go down at 'Up All Night' shows, we'd guess she'll likely work cuts from her 2024 album 'This Is Me…Now' into the live show. Advertisement If this sounds like the can't-miss concert of the year for you, tickets are available for all upcoming Jennifer Lopez concerts as of today. At the time of publication, the lowest price we could find on tickets for any one show was $142 including fees on Vivid Seats. Other gigs start anywhere from $148 to $176 including fees.

The original record was dedicated to her new beau Affleck and how he inspired her. Sadly, their whirlwind relationship — which inspired the now infamous portmanteau 'Bennifer' — ended in 2004. 20 years later, the pair reunited and Lopez was inspired again to write about the rekindled romance (which, unfortunately, has since fizzled). Made up of 13 tracks, 'This Is Me…Now' is like a time machine to the mid-2000s; radio friendly Hip-Hop beats with J. Lo's unmistakable syrupy vocals giving them life. Advertisement 'Mad In Love,' the bouncy third track is a standout; we also dug the flirty, playful 'Can't Get Enough' and stripped-down 'Broken Like Me.' 'Hearts and Flowers' is the true MVP, though. Its equal parts cinematic, jaunty and urgent; surely, this track deserves repeat play. Want to listen? You can check out 'This Is Me…Now' here.

Erykah Badu announces 2025 tour with The Alchemist. Get tickets today
Vivid Seats is the New York Post's official ticketing partner. We may receive revenue from this partnership for sharing this content and/or when you make a purchase. Featured pricing is subject to change. The R&B/Hip-Hop crossover collab of the year is finally here. Erykah Badu and The Alchemist announced they're co-headlining their ten-concert 'Luv Iz Tour' aka 'The Abi and Alan Tour' at theaters and music halls all over North America this August. As of now, the sonically-gifted duo, who are touring together for the first time, unfortunately don't have any New York or New Jersey gigs lined up but will get close when they play Toronto's History on Friday, Aug. 15 and Silver Spring, MD's The Fillmore on Sunday, Aug. 17. Advertisement At all shows, the pair will likely debut tracks from their yet-to-be-released album, which is rumored to be titled 'Abi & Alan' like the tour. Although not much is known about the forthcoming record — Badu's first since 2010's 'New Amerykah Part Two (Return of the Ankh)' excluding her 2015 mixtape 'But You Caint Use My Phone' — a single has hit the airwaves. 'Next To You' combines the singer's famously lush vocal styling with a bass-y, Mobb Deep-sampling Alchemist beat. Prior to the U.S. and Canada leg of the run, the twosome are playing a trio of concerts in Japan. Before that mini Japan jaunt, Badu took the stage at Dallas' Bomb Factory and performed a quick set on June 19. According to Set List FM, the brief spot included fan favorites like 'Didn't Cha Know,' 'On & On' and 'Appletree' from the reigning Queen of Neo-Soul. Fans Baduists can purchase tickets for all upcoming Erykah Badu and The Alchemist shows on sites like Vivid Seats; the official on-sale for the 'Luv Iz Tour' is Friday, June 27.
