FIFA
has devised a new type of ticket, with genuine football fans around the
world in mind. The new Team Specific Tickets (TSTs) give fans the chance to
buy tickets to see their team all the way through to the final, or as far as
it may progress in the final competition due to be held in Korea and Japan
from 31 May to 30 June 2002. Fans
can buy a series of from three tickets, one for each of the group round
matches, up to a series of seven match tickets, which would go all the way
to the final. If, during the qualifying competition ending in November 2001,
the fan’s choice team fails
to qualify for the final competition then successful ticket applicants will
get a refund of the amount paid, less a handling fee of between USD18 - USD
45 per series, depending upon the type of ticket ordered. At a later stage
prior to the final competition, tickets for individual matches will also be
available. In
the past, tickets used to be sold for venues only and fans had to hope that
their team was ultimately drawn to play there. For
the 2002 FIFA World Cup™ a total of three million tickets will be
available. 1.3 million tickets will go on sale to the domestic general
public in Korea and Japan, whereas 1.5 million tickets will be sold
internationally, with 880,000 tickets going to the international general
public and the participating national associations, and 620,000 to FIFA
commercial affiliates and rights holders. The latter will make these tickets
available to the public as well through, for example, consumer promotions,
public contests and lotteries. Another 200,000 tickets will go to FIFA
officials, the FIFA delegation, media and observers. The
face value of tickets in the lowest category range from USD 60 to USD 300
for the final match. For the highest category, prices are from USD 150 at
group matches to USD 750 in the final game. The
ticketing policy will offer all fans equal and fair access to tickets and
also accommodation and other related services if they wish so. Contrary to
past FIFA World Cups™, each element for a unique experience at the FIFA
World Cup – tickets, accommodation and travel – will be sold separately.
Frequently
Asked Questions
What
is a Team Specific Ticket (TST)?
The
TST gives the chance to buy tickets to see the national team of your choice.

Specific Ticket (VST) format. Are

If you wish to only visit one venue in Korea/Japan and
prefer to watch the various teams playing there. Q.
How many ticket series can I apply for?
You
can apply for up to four ticket series, per household, per match. Q.
If I apply today, can I be sure I will get the tickets I want?
All applications for TST series that are received before 30 April 2001 will be entered into a random draw process, which will take place on 15 May 2001. You will receive notification soon after this date; if you have been successful you will receive a confirmation certificate, if you have not been successful you will receive information regarding possible future opportunities to purchase. What
are the ticket face prices?
FIFA
announced on 6 June 2000,
that Ticket Face Prices will range from $60 for Category 3 for Group
Matches, to $750 for Category 1 for the Final. Q.
What is the Ticket Series going to cost?
All
of the price details are clearly laid out on the Ticket Application Form,
but they range from $198 for 3 first round (TST 3) category 3 tickets,
though to $2,448 for 7 (TST 7) category 1 tickets, one for each of the First
Round matches, Round of 16, Quarter Final, Semi Final and the Final Match. Where
can I find all the ticket price details and application form?
You
can apply online at www.FIFAWorldCup.com When do I have to pay?
What
happens if my team fails to qualify for the 2002 FIFA World Cup Finals?
If
you chose to apply now and are successful in the application process, but
then your team fails to qualify for the 2002 FIFA World Cup Finals, you will
receive a refund of the amount you paid for your TST series less the
non-refundable portion of the 10% TST service fee. The non-refundable
portion of the TST service fee is $18 for Category 3 series, $30 for
Category 2 series and $45 for Category 1 series. What
happens if my team gets eliminated in the First Round?
When
applying for tickets, you have a number of choices to make. If you wish only
to watch the team of your choice play, and if and when they are eliminated,
you wish to go home, then you should apply for the Conditional Ticket
series. If,
on the other hand, you wish to stay and watch the tournament later stages,
then you should apply for a Fixed Ticket series. What
does this mean?
If
you apply for a TST 4, TST 5, TST 6, or TST 7(i.e., First Round plus later
stages) on a Conditional Ticket basis, and your team gets eliminated before
the Final (if you have been successful with a TST 7 application) then, you
will receive a refund of the face price of the ticket(s) for subsequent
matches (the 10% TST Service Fee for these subsequent tickets will not be
refunded).
