The clock does not stop and there is less and less time left until the start of the long-awaited World Cup. The twenty-second edition of this event will take place in Qatar in an atypical period: from November 21 to December 18. As time gets shorter, the World Cup fever skyrockets and fans start freaking out to get a ticket. Infobae explains, in a simple way, when the new batch of tickets for the tournament will be released, the different options and prices.

The first thing to note is that the next remnant will go on sale on Tuesday, April 5 at 12 noon Doha time (6 am Argentina or 11:00 CET). They can be requested at FIFA.com/en/tickets and, after the World Cup draw, each fan will be able to request their tickets knowing for sure the dates and venues of the matches of their national team.

It is worth remembering that during the first phase of sales 800,000 fans secured a place in the biggest football sporting event on the planet. In the initial period by drawing, the ten countries that acquired the most entries were Qatar, United States, England, Mexico, United Arab Emirates, Germany, India, Brazil, Argentina and Saudi Arabia. The most demanded were the singles, for the opening match or the decisive matches.

There are three types of ticket options. One is “individual match tickets (IMT)”, which is used exclusively for a specific match. In this variant it exists for categories 1, 2, 3 and 4 (the fourth is for residents of Qatar only), as well as the accessibility ticket category.

In this variant, inflows, for non-residents, range from 250 Qatari riyals (about $69) to 5850 ($1,606)

“Team Pass (TST)” is for those who wish to follow a selection throughout the World Cup starting with the debut in the group stage. Its variants are three, four or seven matches. Customers are guaranteed all matches for all rounds of the competition they purchase, regardless of whether the team qualifies for them.

Discounting accessible tickets, the cheapest option is 825 Qatari riyals ($226), while the most expensive is up to 15,708 (4,314 US currency).

“Four Stadium Pass (FST)” is the option that FIFA offers to experience the atmosphere of four different stadiums on consecutive days, appealing to the short distance between the different venues in Qatar. It is worth noting that you cannot choose the matches for each package, since they are fixed.

In this proposal, prices range from 1000 riyals ($274) to 4650 (1277). The stadiums of this World Cup are the Iconic Stadium of Lusail (Al Daayen, 94,500 spectators), Al Janoub Stadium (Al Wakrah, 40,000), Stadium 974 (Doha, 40,000), Al Thumama Stadium (Doha, 60,000), Khalifa International Stadium (Rayan, 50,000), City of Education Stadium (Rayán, 45,350), stadium Ahmed bin Ali (Rayan, 44,740) and Al Bayt Stadium (Jor, 60,000).

Another important fact is that the Qatari authorities request the Hay'ya card, which is a permit to enter the State of Qatar and access to the stadium (along with a ticket for the match). In addition, international fans will need to confirm their accommodation plans. This is handled by the Qatar2022.qa page.

The first test that took place during the FIFA Arab Cup that had Fan ID as an optional was considered a success and that is why it became a firm necessity for this World Cup.
