1. A money-can't-buy prize
Official World Cup final tickets sell out instantly through FIFA's ballot, and hospitality packages run into the tens of thousands of pounds. A UK World Cup competition that bundles flights, hotel and official match tickets is one of the only realistic routes to actually being inside the stadium. See the live Ultimate Draws World Cup Final experience draw for the current package on offer.
2. What's typically included
- Return flights from a UK airport for the winner and a guest.
- Hotel accommodation for the match dates.
- Official match tickets (always check the listing for stand/category).
- Airport transfers and match-day transport in most packages.
Always read the competition's terms to confirm the exact inclusions and travel window.
3. Cash alternative
Most experience-based prize competitions offer a tax-free cash alternative - so if the dates don't work for you, or your country doesn't qualify, you can take the cash equivalent instead. Tax-free either way for UK residents - full detail in our UK prize tax guide.
4. Tips for entering
- Check the ticket cap - smaller, capped experience draws often have surprisingly strong odds.
- Enter late once you can see how the draw is filling.
- Answer the skill question correctly - wrong answers invalidate the entry.
- Use the free postal entry route if you'd rather not pay. Identical odds. See our free postal entry guide.
5. Travel admin if you win
- Make sure your passport has at least 6 months' validity from the date of return travel.
- Check visa requirements for the host country well in advance.
- Buy comprehensive travel insurance covering medical and cancellation.
