The International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) has announced that 150 million orders from more than 200 countries have been received halfway through the current sales phase. This means that demand is already 30 times greater than the number of tickets available. Moreover, demand has never been so high in the history of the World Cup.
The current application phase has been running since December 11 and ends on January 13 at 5 p.m. Swiss time. For the first time, individual tickets are available for specific matches and teams in the preliminary round. The tickets will be allocated in a random draw. This will be followed by a further sales phase.
