The first two sales phases feature attractive offers, and are aimed especially at fans from all around the venues, families, children and young persons, as well active footballers. In the first phase, which runs from 29 October 2009 to 31 January 2010, the so-called Venue Specific Tickets will be offered. In the second sales phase, which starts on 17 February 2010, specific group quotas will be offered exclusively to clubs.

Single tickets for all matches will be offered for the first time from 01 August 2010. This will take place within three separate sales phases up to 30 April 2011 (assuming availability).

Any remaining tickets will be sold in ‘Last minute sales' from 15 May 2011.

The specified dates are provisional and may be changed at any time. The aim is to ensure fair and transparent allocation of the admission tickets even when demand exceeds the quantity of tickets available, and to provide as many fans as possible with tickets. Hence, the tickets are allocated, depending on sales phase, either in the order in which orders were received (that is, ‘first come, first served') or through a random lottery draw.

Below is an overview with details of the five sales phases (not including 'Last minute sales'):

First sales phase: 29.10.2009 to 31.01.2010, sale of Venue Specific Tickets (VST)

A Venue Specific Ticket basically comprises of all matches at a venue. The only exception is Frankfurt: For Frankfurt, a VST with three matches (without final) and a VST with four matches (including the final) are offered. For Venue Specific Tickets, the best seats are reserved in the respective category for sale to the public.

In general, a VST saves you €10 compared with the total sum of the single ticket prices. Furthermore, reduced price tickets are available in all categories for children and young persons aged 16 or under. Venue Specific Tickets are an attractive offer for fans and families who live within the region of a stadium; all matches in a city can be seen from as little as €30 (category 4, Bochum or Sinsheim VST, children and young persons).

The first sales phase is divided into two sections. All applications that are received between 29 October 2009 and 6 December 2009 will be allocated in the time period 7 to 10 December. If demand exceeds the available tickets on offer, tickets will be allocated on the basis of a random lottery draw. If tickets are still available after 6 December 2009, then they will be allocated from 11 December 2009 to 31 January 2010 in the order that orders were received (that is, ‘first come, first served').

Second sales phase: 17.02.2010 to 30.06.2010, sale of group tickets to clubs

A quota of category 4 tickets is available exclusively to all amateur football clubs in Germany and therefore to grassroots football in the host country. These tickets will be offered as ‘Twenty11 tickets' in the second sales phase. A twenty percent discount is granted for groups of 11 or more. The single ticket prices therefore range from €8 (group match, children / young people aged 16 or under) to €44 (the final, standard price). All amateur football clubs in Germany will receive advance notification of this special offer. Group tickets for clubs are allocated in the order in which orders were received (that is, ‘first come, first served').

Third sales phase: 01.08.2010 to 15.11.2010, sale of single tickets

In the third sales phase, single tickets for all FIFA Women's World Cup Germany 2011™ matches (including the opening match in Berlin and the final in Frankfurt) will be offered for the first time. Within the scope of overall availability, there are also reduced price single tickets for children and young persons, in all categories. The prices for single tickets therefore range from €10 (category 4, group match, children / young persons aged 16 or under) to €200 (category 1, the final, standard price).

In this sales phase, tickets are likely to be allocated in the order in which orders were received (that is, ‘first come, first served').

Fourth sales phase: 01.12.2010 to 31.01.2011, sale of single tickets after the group draw for the final round in the summer of 2011

At this stage, the pairings for the final round group matches from 26 June to 17 July 2011 are known. If ordering in this phase, you can specify alternative pairings for your preferred matches. For these matches, which are expected to be highly sought after, the priority is therefore specified by the applicant. At the same time, persons who use this special service have a far better chance of attending the world's largest sport event in 2011. The fourth sales phase is a registration phase with subsequent allocation of tickets on the basis of a random lottery draw.

Fifth sales phase: 15.02.2011 to 30.04.2011, sale of single tickets

Any tickets that remain unallocated after the fourth sales phase will be offered in the fifth sales phase on a ‘first come, first served' basis. Orders are processed in the order in which they are received.
