Understanding the Right to Buy (RTB) for FIFA Tournaments
What is an RTB?
A Right to Buy (RTB) is a special digital asset offered through FIFA Collect that provides fans with an exclusive chance to purchase FIFA World Cup 26™ tickets for specific matches, This unique offering grants direct access to ticket sales through reserved slots, enabling RTB holders to buy tickets before they are made available to the general public.
Why RTBs Matter
With tens of millions of fans expected to be interested in tickets for FIFA Tournaments, the competition will be fierce. For instance, during the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™, approximately 3.4 million tickets were available, but over 23 million requests were submitted, demonstrating a staggering nearly 7-to-1 demand-to-supply ratio.
As a further example, tickets for the World Cup are traditionally allocated through a lottery system, where fans submit requests and hope for a random selection to secure their tickets. This process can be highly unpredictable and leaves many fans empty-handed. In contrast, RTBs provide a unique advantage by allowing fans to purchase tickets directly through FIFA Collect, bypassing the uncertainty of the lottery.
