World Cup tickets for Brazil 2014 are officially on sale for international fans. However, they will cost you a little more. Tickets for the South American showcase are running about 10 percent more than in South Africa in 2010, with the most expensive ones for international fans selling for $990 and the cheapest for $90.
Some three million tickets are available in total, with 700,000 of them going on sale to international fans. Five hundred thousand cheaper tickets have been set aside exclusively for Brazilians, with many being offered at half price to pensioners, students and people receiving government aid.
As fans go online to FIFA.com and make the tough decisions of which matches they want to try and attend the clock is ticking with less than 300 days to go before the opening match. For many fans the chance to see their nation in action is priceless but for others, the cost for the 2014 event is simpy too pricey.
"No, I won’t even try to buy tickets. I think it’s too expensive, way too expensive. They need to bring the prices down." Football Fan said.
"Starting at one minute past midnight, I will settle down in front of the computer to try and buy seats. I will sit down and pray to get lucky. The tickets are very, very, very expensive, but football is our passion, and that’s priceless." Joao Carlos Perreira, Football Fan said.
