With Brazil serving as the host nation in 2014, residents of Brazil will have nearly 400,000 discounted tickets at their disposal, a significant amount since over 3 million tickets for the event will be produced.
"Those prices are extremely competitive," FIFA marketing director Thierry Weil said to ESPN FC recently. "So you have a huge range, for sure. I hope that FIFA has been reasonable when it comes to prices."
