Ticket Types
There are three kinds of ticket types available.

3. Venue Specific Tickets (VSTs): tickets available for the matches at one venue throughout the tournament not including the Opening Match and Final.
TST Notes
You do not have to choose the team that you support or the nation where you reside. If your team is knocked out and your TST Series includes rounds after your team has been eliminated, your TST will remain valid to follow the team that progresses into the next round of the competition.
Special Access Tickets
Special Access Tickets (SATs) are a dedicated allocation of tickets for purchase for disabled people, people with limited mobility and obese people (BMI that is equal to or exceeds 35 kg/m²).
Organizing Your Trip
If you are a first time visitor to the World Cup, we strongly advise you consult with other people going through the same ticket ordering procedure and planning their itineraries, accommodation and flights to Russia. It would be wise to plan your World Cup experience in consultation with other fans.
