The first batch of nearly one million tickets for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil went on sale on the internet on Tuesday, August 20. The chase for tickets began at 1000 GMT (6:00PM PST), even though World Cup qualification is far from over and the draw for the final phase does not take place until December 6. At least 300,000 of the tickets that went on sale are reserved for “those over 60 years old, students and recipients of the Bolsa Familia family grant,” the International Football Federation (FIFA) said on its internet site. Tickets for the opening match on June 12, 2014 at the Itaquerao stadium in Sao Paulo cost between $220 and $495 while those for the final at Rio de Janeiro’s Maracana on July 13 will set back fans a minimum of $440 up to $990. The World Cup will take place across 12 cities with around 600,000 tourists expected to attend the tournament.
