The previous phases of sales were in high demand, so there is a possibility that the new shipment will run out quickly, but FIFA advises fans to check the website regularly as additional batches of tickets will be made available through sales/resales, which will be released into the system.

Individual tickets are divided into four price categories and one of them, Category 4, is intended only for residents of Qatar. Each fan can purchase a maximum of six tickets per match and 60 in total. There are also entry options for accessible areas for people with disabilities and reduced mobility.

For fans outside of Qatar, individual ticket prices for the first phase vary between 62 euros and 200 euros (R$316 to R$1.020). For the final of World cup, prices range from 550 euros to 1.460 euros (R$2.800 to R$7.440). The price range for tickets reserved for residents of the Arab country ranges from 10 euros to 190 euros (R$50 to R$970). On average, prices are 30% more expensive compared to the 2018 World Cup.

📲 World Cup: digital connectivity

FIFA will launch a mobile application in the second half of October that fans must download to access the matches. Purchased tickets will then be uploaded to this app and activated when fans access the stadiums.

After paying for tickets, fans will be able to book accommodation and apply for the Hayya card, which will also serve as an entry permit to the Catar for international fans traveling to the tournament. All spectators, regardless of whether they are Qatari residents or foreigners, will need a Hayya card along with their match ticket to enter the stadium.
