2006 Tickets
written by Christian Wach
FIFA have announced that tickets for the 2006 World Cup will go on sale on the 1st February 2005. Three million tickets… but just how many people will there be wanting to see the games? A few more than that I expect. Set your alarm on 31st January, folks. Ticket prices in Euros are as follows:
| Category 1 | Category 2 | Category 3 | Category 4 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Opening game | 300,00 | 180,00 | 115,00 | 65,00 |
| Group stage | 100,00 | 60,00 | 45,00 | 35,00 |
| Round of 16 | 120,00 | 75,00 | 60,00 | 45,00 |
| Quarter-finals | 180,00 | 110,00 | 85,00 | 55,00 |
| Semi-finals | 400,00 | 240,00 | 150,00 | 90,00 |
| Third place | 120,00 | 75,00 | 60,00 | 45,00 |
| Final | 600,00 | 360,00 | 220,00 | 120,00 |
The tickets seem (dare I say it) quite reasonably priced by comparison to the exorbitant sums that were being charged last time in Korea and Japan. Phew… maybe we won’t need VIP tickets like last time. Despite the endless champagne and canapes, it’s actually a lot more fun to be in amongst the fans.
