FIFA says it has received over 500 million ticket requests for this year’s World Cup. Outside the host countries, the most requests come from Germany, England, and Brazil. FIFA is asking for up to $8,680 per ticket. After criticism, FIFA announced $60 tickets for every game, available through national federations. The most-requested match in the recent sales phase was Colombia vs. Portugal on June 27 in Miami Gardens, Florida. FIFA plans to notify applicants about their tickets no earlier than February 5, with random allocation for high-demand matches.
