Soccer fans across the world desirous of purchasing the World cup ticket have an opportunity to do so as the second round of sales begins March 13 from 12 noon Moscow time.

World soccer ruling body FIFA dished out the information Monday informing that the ticket will be sold on first-come first served basis. The tickets the body further said can be purchased at FIFA.com/tickets. It however underscored that tickets for all matches will be available except match 7 clash between Argentina and Iceland and the final billed for July 15.

Fans are advised to place their order as soon as the sales period opens, as high demand is expected and tickets are likely to sell out very quickly. A traffic light system available on FIFA.com/tickets will give fans an indication about availability.


A total of 1,303,616 tickets have already been allocated since the start of ticket sales in September 2017.

“With only 94 days left until the FIFA World Cup opening match, we continue to be very happy with the outcome of ticket sales. The huge demand by both local and international fans highlights the great sense of anticipation and excitement that Russia 2018 is sparking around the world,” said FIFA Secretary General Fatma Samoura who was recently in Lagos for the FIFA Executive Summit.

FIFA Head of Ticketing Falk Eller commented: “Such a great interest obviously caused many matches to be fully overbooked, but we have set up a transparent and fair process of ticket allocation based on a random selection draw procedure, which ensures that each and every application has an equal chance of being successful. Fans who were not so lucky can still be part of the FIFA World Cup in Russia as sales restart on Tuesday.”

FIFA has also made an allocation of tickets available for disabled people and people with limited mobility in accordance with the number of special access seats available in the 12 stadiums.
