FIFA World Cup tickets to go on sale in August 2013

PanARMENIAN.Net - The sale of FIFA World Cup tickets will begin after the FIFA Confederations Cup 2013, probably towards the end of August 2013. Tickets for the Confederations Cup will go on general sale after the draw at the end of 2012.

“There are going to be an estimated 3.3 million tickets available, although we are yet to confirm a precise number. That will only be possible once all the stadiums are ready and we know which seats cannot be made available for purchase, such as those with an obstructed view. We also need to organize the Fan Fests together with the host cities. There are going to be plenty of additional activities for fans in 2014 too,” FIFA Marketing Director Thierry Weil and Executive Chairman of MATCH AG Jaime Byrom said, quoted by FIFA.com

The first sales phase will be a lottery in which fans can apply for tickets, which are then allocated via random draw. Everyone can take part and will have an equal chance of securing tickets. The majority of tickets will be sold through FIFA.com, the official FIFA World Cup website.
