Soccer fans across the
world desirous of purchasing the World cup ticket have an opportunity to do so
as the second round of sales begins March 13 from 12 noon Moscow time.
World soccer ruling body
FIFA dished out the information Monday informing that the ticket will be sold
on first-come first served basis. The tickets the body further said can be
purchased at FIFA.com/tickets. It
however underscored that tickets for all matches will be available except match
7 clash between Argentina and Iceland and the final billed for
July 15.
Fans are advised to
place their order as soon as the sales period opens, as high demand is expected
and tickets are likely to sell out very quickly. A traffic light system
available on FIFA.com/tickets will give fans an indication about availability.
A total of 1,303,616
tickets have already been allocated since
the start of ticket sales in September 2017.
“With only 94 days left
until the FIFA World Cup opening match, we continue to be very happy with the
outcome of ticket sales. The huge demand by both local and international fans
highlights the great sense of anticipation and excitement that Russia 2018 is
sparking around the world,” said FIFA Secretary General Fatma Samoura who was
recently in Lagos for the FIFA Executive Summit.
FIFA Head of Ticketing
Falk Eller commented: “Such a great interest obviously caused many matches to
be fully overbooked, but we have set up a transparent and fair process of
ticket allocation based on a random selection draw procedure, which ensures
that each and every application has an equal chance of being successful. Fans
who were not so lucky can still be part of the FIFA World Cup in Russia as
sales restart on Tuesday.”
FIFA has also made an
allocation of tickets available for disabled people and people with limited
mobility in accordance with the number of special access seats available in the
12 stadiums.
