World Cup Germany 2006 - Ticket Information

As with any major international tournament, demand for tickets always exceeds supply. This section will help you track down tickets you need for the finals. Prices for tickets will be in 4 categories for the each of the 64 matches starting at €35 right up to €600. Prices increases as the tournament progresses (the opening match is more expensive that the other group matches).

The latest round of ticket sales for the World Cup saw nearly 700,000 orders placed for over 6 million tickets. Only 250,000 tickets were available for this stage so there will be a lot of disappointed people. The vast majority of applications came from Europe with fans desparate for tickets to see their teams. This was the first round of sales after the draw for the groups was made. The application period for this round of sales is closed and a ballot will be drawn on 31st January and 2 further sales are planned:

15th February 2006 to 15 April 2006
1 May 2006 to 9th July 2006

Tickets are allocated to various groups of people including: Participating member associations, non-participating member associations, sponsors, and general sale. These groups are free to chose how they allocate tickets. Obviously, there will also be a huge black market both via the web and around the stadia on match days. If you chose to buy tickets from unofficial sources, please be aware there are no guarantees your tickets will be delivered or are even genuine. You could easily end up losing your money. If you want to risk purchasing tickets from unofficial sources, there are several internet based companies offering tickets which can easily be found on any search engine. In addition, individuals also sell tickets on auction websites such as EBay. If you want an idea of what tickets could cost you, England v Brazil in WC 2002 were going for about US$2,500 and England v France in Euro 2004 were going for about €500. These are extreme cases and depending on the teams involved, it may be possible to get tickets for less than face-value from the black market.

Ticket Prices
Each match will have tickets in 4 different price categories (1 - 4, 1 being the highest). The price below is listed in Euros (€), includes VAT and free travel on public transport to the stadium. Please note, these are prices when tickets are purchased from FIFA or national Football Associations. They will also be subject to a additional handling fee.
