For the independent traveler

But in addition to those who choose travel agencies, there are those who choose to travel on their own. The complicated thing for this group of people is to obtain tickets and book accommodation independently.

To get tickets. Uruguayans have to access the international ticket section on the official FIFA website, and submit a request according to the steps indicated on the site.

Although the first ticket sales space has already ended —with 17 million requests—, lFIFA opened a ticket transfer period: it will be by order of request and will only last six days. These new tickets for the World Cup can now be purchased through the site of FIFA.com/tickets until next March 29 at 7:00 in Uruguay.

In this new ticket sale occasion there will be possibilities to apply for tickets from four categories:

1: It is the most expensive and is located in the preferred areas of the stadium
2 and 3: They are in a separate area of the stadium from category 1.
4: It is an area reserved exclusively for residents of Qatar.

Those betting on the FIFA website as the place to get tickets can go for individual tickets, team tickets, tickets for four stadiums or accessibility tickets.

Watching a group stage match costs QAR 250, QAR 600 and QAR 800, for categories 3, 2 and 1 respectively; What equals at $3,015, $7,236 and $9,648. For packages that include all three group stage matches, prices are $9,950, $23,878, and $31,838, depending on the category.
