FIFA World Cup 2022: FIFA World Cup Qatar TICKETS ‘CHEAPER’ than Indian Premier League 2022 tickets
FIFA World Cup tickets: Fans have bought 804,186 tickets for matches at the World Cup in Qatar later this year in the first phase of sales, soccer’s world governing body and tournament organisers FIFA said on Wednesday.
FIFA said interest in tickets mainly came from countries such as Qatar, the United States of America, England, Mexico, the United Arab Emirates, Germany, India, Brazil, Argentina, and Saudi Arabia.
According to Indian Express, the cheapest ticket for the biggest game of the world’s most popular sport, the football World Cup final, will cost Rs 45,828 which is just Rs 10,000 more than the most expensive IPL match tickets.
Ticket prices
Rs 5211 – Price of the cheapest 2022 FIFA World Cup group-stage match ticket.
Rs 1,21,976 – Cost of the most expensive World Cup final ticket.
30,00,000 – Total tickets available. Two million for fans, a million for FIFA and its partners.
The ticket sales started on April 5 and will continue till April 28. FIFA has said that the result of the random selection draw will be out by May 31 and applications will be decided by the lottery system.
Tickets for the initial matches, barring the opener, have not been this cheap since the 2006 World Cup in Germany. Qatar has gone one step further for the locals, charging only 40 QAR (Rs 834) for group-stage tickets – the lowest a host nation has charged for home fans since the 1986 World Cup in Mexico.
In Russia, the costliest ticket was for $1100 (Rs 83,509) while in Qatar, the final, set to be held at the Lusail Stadium, will cost $1607 (QAR 5850/INR 1,22,032). In some cases, the increase in prices from the Russia World Cup has been as much as 50 per cent.
