Brazil are in hot demand. In the first seven hours of ticket sales Tuesday, more than one million tickets were requested by hundreds of thousands of football fans from Brazil to the U.K.

Brazil, Argentina, U.S., Chile and England are the five countries with the highest amount of ticket hunters so far, FIFA said in a press release few hours ago.
The opening match at the São Paulo Arena had more than 168,000 people requesting tickets, slightly more than the actual final cup match being held at Maracana stadium in Rio de Janeiro (roughly 165,000 people put in for tickets). Football fans have until October 10 to apply for tickets during this first sales period.

During this first sales period, fans must apply for the right to buy tickets for the FIFA World Cup regardless of their application date within this time period. All requests will be counted at the end of the phase and processed together. If the number of requests received per product and category exceeds the number of tickets available, a lottery will be held to determine who gets the ticket, FIFA said.

“It was a frenzied start to Fifa's attempt to fill the stands for next year's World Cup in Brazil as fans applied for more than one million tickets in just seven hours”.

But it will be some time before they know whether they will be among those lucky enough to get seats to football's signature event. Applicants will not hear back until October, after Fifa, football's governing body, holds a random selection draw on all the requests.
More than 163,000 people requested the tickets online in the first seven hours on Tuesday. At the end of the first day of sales, there had been more ticket applications than the number of seats available in all four price categories for 12 of the 64 matches, including the opener in Sao Paulo and the final at Rio de Janeiro's Maracana Stadium.

Demand was also high in all price categories for the semi-finals, and 44 matches had too many requests at least for the cheaper category tickets which are only available for Brazilians. Fifa said the highest amount of applications so far has come from Brazil, Argentina, the US, Chile and England.

"The respective ticket product is already heavily oversubscribed and therefore, at that point in time, the success of the application appears very unlikely," Fifa said of the high demand categories. "There are vastly more ticket applicants seeking tickets than there are tickets presently available for the general public."

Prices for the final will go from 440-990 US dollars (£280 - £632), although Brazilian fans will pay 165 US dollars (£105) in the cheaper category. About 500,000 tickets in total were set aside for the category available solely to Brazilian citizens.
Applications quickly started pouring in after tickets went up for grabs. Some fans had to be placed in a virtual queue "due to an exceedingly high demand for access to the ticketing page," Fifa said on its website.

Fifa's press office said that in the first hour of sales there were 14,104 requests for a total of 81,821 tickets. Each applicant can request for up to four tickets for a maximum of seven matches. The organisation expects a total of nearly 3.3 million tickets to be available for the tournament in Brazil, but only about 1 million are offered in the first stage of sales.

Fifa said before sales opened that it expected a demand for tickets similar to that seen for the 2006 World Cup in Germany, when there were about seven applicants for every ticket of the month-long tournament attended by more than 3.3 million fans. Almost 2 million tickets were sold to the general public for the World Cup in South Africa in 2010, although the number of applications during the first ticketing phase was significantly lower.

Sales of leftover tickets will begin on November 5 on a first-come, first-served basis. Another phase will begin on December 8 after the World Cup draw determines where and when each nation will play. The tournament begins on June 12, with Brazil playing in the opener.
