Packages still available for 102 of the 104 matches
Fifa selling individual suites in former group sections
Fifa is upping efforts to sell luxury hospitality tickets for the World Cup, with packages still available for 102 of the 104 matches at the expanded tournament.
Mexico’s Group A opener against South Korea and one last-32 fixture expected to feature Spain are the only matches showing a lack of availability on Fifa’s hospitality platform, and a new category – “suite essentials” – has been added to lower-profile games, allowing customers to buy an individual ticket for a suite that would previously have been sold to a group.
The Guardian understands the intensified activity follows a downwards re-evaluation by Fifa and its partner On Location of the revenue expected from this most lucrative category of ticket.
