FIFA has revealed the ticket prices for the 2018 World Cup, with the cost of the cheapest tickets available for foreign fans increasing more than 16% since 2014.
The most affordable tickets for group stage games will sell for $105 (£80), a $15 (£11) increase on the equivalent tickets in Brazil two years ago. The most expensive 'category one' tickets for the final retail at $1,100 (£841), up from $990 (£650) for the Rio de Janeiro showpiece two years ago – a rise of £191, or just over 11%.
Russian residents are being offered discounted rates, with their cheapest tickets on offer at 1,280 rubles (approx £15) for group matches, an increase on the equivalent prices for the 2014 tournament but roughly in line with prices South African fans paid in 2010, The Guardian reports.
