The first window of 2022 World Cup ticket sales is currently open despite the draw for the tournament still to take place with the competition kicking-off in Al-Khor on 21 November and concluding on 18 December.

Despite ticket pricing for international fans higher in general than those for Russia 2018 (Qatari residents can however apply for competitively priced tickets), demand has been intense with FIFA confirming 1.2 million ticket requests within the first 24 hours of sale.
