Doha
In a little over 10 months, the world’s best football players will descend on Qatar for the World Cup and tickets have now been made available to the general public.
Prices vary depending on the game and what category seat you opt for, with tickets for the Final match ranging from $604 to as much as $1,600.
That may seem steep but, in comparison, some official tickets for this year’s Super Bowl are starting at $5,950.
“This is a FIFA World Cup for Qatar, the region and the world, and the products launched today reflect FIFA’s goal of bringing the beautiful game to as many fans globally as possible,” said FIFA Secretary General Fatma Samoura.
Qatari residents will benefit from subsidized tickets, with prices starting from just under $11 for the exclusive Category 4 seating, in a bid to fill stadiums for the tournament.
Fans will also be able to purchase package deals to follow their chosen team throughout the tournament, as well as buying multiple tickets for different games in the same stadium.
FIFA said visitors must follow the travel advice from the Qatari authorities and that the latest Covid-19 measures will be communicated in advance of the tournament.
“It will be a festival of football that will see fans experience the rich culture and history of the region through the platform of football at top-class stadiums and we look forward to bringing people from different cultures together to live football at the FIFA World Cup,” Samoura added.
