Brazil, one of the teams with the most demand for World Cup tickets
Costs, however, can skyrocket without limits for fans who want to watch more games, or who take the opportunity to eat in better restaurants or sleep in more luxurious hotels.
Travel packages to attend the three first phase matches of the Brazilian team rise up to $11,000 per person, according to offers from travel agencies, which do not include food expenses.
Although the traveler can opt for cheaper options, if they travel on their own by road or train, taking advantage of the fact that New Jersey and Philadelphia are close, although Miami, site of the third game, is 1,900 kilometers away.
Brazil is the fourth country in the world that has requested the most tickets at the moment on the FIFA website, with 101,576 requests, according to data released by the organization at the beginning of December.
The Brazilian fans trust that Ancelotti will be able to straighten the course of the Canarinha in the months remaining before the World Cup after having accumulated his worst results in South American qualifiers.
The “green and yellow” qualified for the World Cup as fifth in the qualifying rounds, after several unprecedented records: worst score in the classification (28 points), fewest number of victories (8 in 18 games), highest number of defeats (6 in 18 games) and the most punished defense since the current format existed, with 17 goals conceded.
Since 1998, when the round-robin format in the qualifiers began, Brazil had only been out of the top in two editions and never as far down as now.
