Fans who want the first chance to buy World Cup tickets will need to sign up for an upcoming presale.

The first phase of ticket sales for next summer’s World Cup will open Wednesday with a 10-day presale lottery that will give applicants the opportunity to purchase up to four tickets a piece for as many as 10 matches.

Two other similar phases, the first running from late October through early December, will be followed by a first-come, first-served phase after the World Cup draw in early December.

FIFA, the tournament organizer, said around a million tickets would likely be available in the first presale phase, one-sixth the total available for the entire tournament.

This World Cup, the second to be played in the U.S., will kick off June 11 in Mexico City and end in East Rutherford, N.J. on July 19. Eight games will be played at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, including the U.S. Open. team’s opener on June 12 and its group-play final 13 days later.

The opponents for those games won’t be determined until the draw, which will be held at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C.

FIFA said prices will start at $60 for some group-stage tickets and climb to $6,730 for the final. That’s four times the regular-ticket maximum price to the 2022 World Cup final in Qatar, according to the Athletic.
