FIFA tickets proving too expensive

Tickets and travel is costing between £2,000 economy up to £6000 and anything in between for a 10 day trip to a desert with some fancy buidings by a port without the normal festival of football experience on offer.


Figures obtained by The Times show the FA has sold 2,379 tickets for the Iran match at the Khalifa International Stadium on November 21, out of an allocation of 2,489. It has sold considerably more — 3,330 — for the England v USA game on November 25 but some way short of the allocation of 4,158 for the match in the 60,000-capacity Al Bayt Stadium. All 2,339 tickets for England v Wales on November 29 have been sold with another 1,005 requests and the FA is working with Fifa to see if more can be obtained.

The cheapest tickets for England fans for a World Cup match start at £53 up to £1,352 for a category A seat at the final. If England were to reach the final, the cost of tickets would be at least £1,221 for supporters to go to all seven games. Ticket sales are notably higher than for England’s matches at the 2018 World Cup in Russia, where fewer than 2,000 tickets were sold by the FA for the team’s opening game against Tunisia in Volgograd.

do you know when faw will put our tickets up for sale and what the criteria will be paul

Ironically, if corrupt FIFA hadn't enriched themselves with oil money, the World Cup would have kicked off yesterday as opposed to the ridiculous winter date.

They met yesterday and will let me know soon, but basing it on the facts I know we have a guarantee of 2,339 tickets and here was the criteria for that many tickets when Holland was announced.

So working on that everyone who has been to 3 or more away games should get one, plus the fact many of them that qualify wont be able to go due to the rediculous prices its costing.

Theese are just my thoughts and based on what I know but in no way are they guaranteed, just a guide for you
