The Shopify Links For Canada Tickets (CanadaRED Ticket Draw)
I've seen some chatter around the weird Canada Soccer Tickets shopify link -- people sharing it to help others get tickets, and others wondering if the link is a scam.
So I'll share what I've found.
The link is only intended for draw winners.
In their email to draw winners, they said:
This offer is only valid for the email address associated with your CanadaRED account and is non-transferable. Any tickets or access associated with this offer may be cancelled if transferred, shared, or used by someone other than the original recipient.
So if you're sharing the link, I don't think it's going to work for anybody else. I'd imagine Canada Soccer is going to:
- Cross-reference orders from this link with ticket draw winners.
- Give the tickets to draw winners who ordered.
- Cancel any orders from people who ordered but didn't win the draw.
So if you didn't win the draw, you're either just wasting your time or maybe accidentally lighting your money on fire.
For others who've said the shop link looks scammy.
Canada Soccer replied to my email saying:
Shopify is an official payment platform of Canada Soccer and is safe and secure for use when completing transactions related to FIFA World Cup 2026™ tickets allocated through Canada Soccer’s Participating Member Association ticket allocation process. Fans can proceed with confidence when completing their ticket purchase through the official Canada Soccer process and payment links provided.
TL;DR: The shopify link isn't a scam, but you need to be a draw winner to actually purchase your tickets through it.
