""We already have seen massive interest from around the world for this tournament, and especially from within the host countries as Canada, Mexico and the United States prepare to host the biggest FIFA World Cup yet,""
""This second phase, with its host country domestic exclusivity time slot, will allow us to say 'thank you' to these local fans, while ensuring global opportunity as well.""
""Those fans from the U.S, Canada and Mexico who enter the draw before it closes Friday have a chance to receive, through what FIFA says is a randomized process, a time slot during which they can buy tickets starting on Nov. 12. Those slots will be issued through Nov. 15. Fans who win those chances will receive word at least 48 hours before their time slot opens.""
""Residents of the three host countries -- the U.S., Canada and Mexico, in that order -- purchased more tickets than those from any other nation in the initial phase of ticketing. England, Germany, Brazil, Spain, Colombia, Argentina and France, in that order, rounded out the top 10.""
FIFA opened a second ticket sales phase by launching a draw for an additional one million World Cup tickets that runs through 11 a.m. Eastern Friday. The draw includes a domestic exclusivity time slot for residents of the United States, Canada and Mexico, enabling selected entrants to buy single-match tickets for games hosted in their country. The phase is open to all fans worldwide. Domestic time slots will be issued Nov. 12–15 and winners will be notified at least 48 hours before their slot. General purchasing slots begin Nov. 17, with additional releases planned in later phases.
