Fans Upbeat As FIFA Set To Reopen World Cup Ticket Sale

DOHA: Ticket sales for the FIFA World Cup 2022 to be played in Qatar from November 20 to December 18 will reopen on September 27 at 11.00 CEST or 12.00 Midday Doha time (2.30pm IST), the sport's world governing body said on Friday. Several fans living in Qatar wishing to buy more tickets were elated by the announcement. Doha resident Sharmili Datta Gupta had been opening her FIFA online account every other day to check for updates.

"I bought the tickets during the first phase, but wasn't lucky during the second one. I believe all tickets for the quarters, the semis and the final have been sold out. What probably remain are the high-priced tickets for group stage matches," said Gupta who owns tickets for her three-member family to the semi-final to be played at the Lusail Stadium on December 13.

"The Category 4 tickets cost me QR500 each. I will see if I can get my hands on more tickets if they are affordable," said the Indian senior secondary teacher who works at an American school in Doha.

The latest online ticket sale on FIFA.com/tickets will continue until the end of the tournament on December 18. IANS
