The first ticket sales period will begin a month tomorrow at 1200 Central European Time on FIFA.com, and fans have until October 10 to get their applications in for this phase of the ticketing process.

If the demand for tickets exceeds the number available, a lottery system will determine the allocation, although there will be priority for Brazilian students, over-60s and Bolsa Família programme participants.

Tickets for these concessions will start at just $15 (£10/€11.50), with the cheapest category four tickets only on sale to Brazilian citizens.

Brazilian fans will benefit from the ticket prices as low as $15 (£10/€11.50) for the 2014 FIFA World Cup 

A total of 400,000 of the three million tickets available will be allocated to Brazilian citizens.

Overseas fans will have to part with between $440 (£290/€335) and $990 (£650/€750) to obtain tickets for the showpiece final at the Maracanã Stadium on July 13, while prices for the opening match in São Paulo will range from $220 (£145/€170) to $495 (£325/€380).

The second phase of ticket sales will begin on December 8 following the group stage draw, with individuals able to request a maximum of four seats per match and a maximum of seven matches in total.
