I had no success on my ticket application for Qatar 2022: now what?
First of all, we are sorry. Don’t be discouraged. The approval and ticket allocation process for the millions of applications for Qatar 2022 was via a Random Selection Draw.The good news is that there will be two more official sales phases where you can try again to get entries for the upcoming FIFA World Cup.
FIFA’s official information regarding its sales phases indicates that the allocation of tickets for the second phase, as in the first phase, will be carried out through a Random Selection Draw and a First Come First Served period. The third phase, called “Last Minute Sales Phase”, will consist only of a First Come First Served period.
When and how can I submit my ticket application for the second sales phase?
The ticket application process for the second phase isidentical to that of the first phase. If you have already done it, you will be ready to do it again.

From April 5 to April 28 (11:00 ET), the Random Selection Draw stage of the Qatar 2022official ticket second phase sales will be opened. The available tickets to apply for are the Individual tickets, Supporter tickets, Conditional Supporter tickets and Four Stadium Ticket Series.
What will go on with the First Come First Served official sales phases?
These stages of the official ticket sales phases for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 are the toughest and most difficult for fans. Those who reach them because they have not been able to get tickets previously should be prepared for a battle.
The ticketing process in the First Come First Served phase is as traditional as the name suggests. Tickets are dispatched on a first-come, first-served basis. In this phase there is no waiting time: you know immediately whether you get the requested ticket or not.
No official dates and times are still available to know when this stage of the second phaseis going to start. So, like in this waiting period between the official sales phase 1 and 2, it is strongly recommended to constantly visit the FIFA tickets web page to notice when it will begin.
We hope that at the very end, you can be one of the lucky ones to get some of the FIFA World Cup tickets. (Valery Sharifulin\TASS via Getty Images)
