FIFA has revealed that tickets will go on sale in two phases, which are to be divided into two stages.
The first stage of phase one runs from September 14 to October 12. During this stage, all applicants have the same chance of getting tickets through a random selection draw, with notification to made by November 16.
At this point, of course, fans will be applying to certain matches and venues without knowing which teams will be playing.
The second stage of phase one begins on November 16 and concludes on November 28. During this period, a first-come, first-serve policy applies for the remaining allocation of tickets being sold in this window.
Phase two will be split up the same way. A random selection draw begins on December 5, soon after the World Cup draw is made, and runs until January 31.
The second stage of phase two is open from March 13 and ends on April 3, with tickets, once again, being allocated on a first-come, first-serve basis.
There will also be a last-minute sales phase, which will run from April 18 to July 15 - the day of the World Cup final.
FIFA has split up ticket prices for the World Cup into four different categories.
Categories one, two and three will be available to fans across the world through the online ticket sales.
Category four is reserved for Russian residents and will consist of at least 350,000 tickets to be sold to local fans.
These tickets will cost less: for comparison, the cheapest category-four ticket is priced at approximately £17, compared to £80 for the cheapest from the other three categories.
