There have already been two ballots available to the general public for applying for World Cup tickets. I posted about them on this website in September, however they took place before we had even qualified so it wouldn't have been on many people's radar.
FIFA haven’t released the details regarding how many tickets will be available in the next ballot, so these figures are only my own estimates.
There are over 7 million total tickets for all 104 World Cup matches.
around 6 million once hospitality etc are removed.
There are 5 million tickets in total for the 72 group stage matches only,
