How much is a ticket to the world cup in Russia? A guide to buying tickets for the world cup in Russ

Russia's world cup is about to open tomorrow. For many football fans, tomorrow is bound to be a sleepless night. Many people are curious about the price of World Cup tickets. Do you know how much it costs? Tickets for 2018 Russia world cup are divided into two categories, one is ordinary tickets (so-called 'first, second and third class tickets') and the other is hospitality.

There is only one official ticket purchasing channel for ordinary tickets, that is, they are sold on the FIFA official website by random drawing. FIFA does not authorize any third-party company or enterprise to sell ordinary tickets as an agent in the world. Any company that claims to be the "World Cup ticket agent" is an illegal channel, and has the risks of "price increase on the spot, no refund for advance sale, no promise for tickets, ticket fraud, no entry". As the world cup is the top international sports event, this host The Russian government and FIFA will strictly control any illegal sale and resale, and any illegal ticket sale by any individual organization or enterprise may bear serious legal liabilities.

All ordinary tickets can be purchased directly on FIFA's official website (http://www.fifa.com/). Tickets for the world cup will be sold in three stages:

In the first stage, from September 14 to October 12, 2017, participants can apply for random lottery to purchase tickets. After confirmation of ticket purchase, participants in this stage can rush to sell the remaining tickets in the first stage in the way of "first come first serve" from November 16 to November 28, 2017.

In the second stage, during the period from December 5, 2017 to January 31, 2018, the team grouping results in this stage have been published. All participants can apply for random lottery to purchase tickets. After the confirmation of ticket purchase, participants in this stage can rush to sell the remaining tickets in the second stage in the way of "first come first served" from March 13 to April 3, 2018.

In case of any remaining tickets available for sale, FIFA has arranged the final auction stage. During the period from April 18 to July 15, 2018, all the remaining tickets will be sold to the public at the ticket center of FIFA's official stadium.

How to distinguish seats of common tickets?

There are four categories of common tickets for the world cup in Russia, namely 'category 1-4'. Class IV tickets are only provided to Russians, and non Russians have no right to purchase the tickets (FIFA will verify the identity when selling tickets on the official website, Russian police and FIFA staff will verify the identity of fans when entering the game).

The difference between class I and class III tickets mainly lies in the 'different seats and areas' for the game. Take the Luzhniki Stadium, the opening and final venue of this world cup, for example. One kind of seats is the area with better viewing position, while the other kind of seats are slightly worse, and so on. Sky box in the picture refers to a kind of ball ticket in "entertainment seat", which will be described in detail later.

However, a class of tickets is not equal to sitting in the best seat area of the stadium. According to FIFA's relevant regulations and ticketing policies, FIFA has left the best area of the whole stadium for the 'entertainment tickets', which cannot be obtained by drawing lots.
