A preview of the 2014 World Cup ticketing process...?

It's been a while since I last posted here, mainly because 2 years out from the World Cup, there is very little going on...... But now that we are less than a year & a half away I have started my early planning process and started checking all my usual sources of information, and came across the ticketing information for the this years Confederations Cup.

The Confederations Cup is the pre-competition that is held in the country of the World Cup the year before and is generally used as a test run for all the processes and systems that they will use for the World Cup a year later. With that in mind, please find below details of the ticketing sales phases for the 2013 Confederations Cup to be held in Brazil in June 2013:

It is my expectation that the ticketing for the 2014 World Cup will be released in exactly the same format as that for the Confederations Cup, especially as the format is almost identical to the sales phase breakdown from the 2010 South African World Cup.
 

If the above is correct, then we will be preparing ourselves for the first sales phase, (Visa Pre-Sales), around the last few weeks of November, with the second phase (Advanced Sales), between December 2013 & April 2014, with the final phase (Last Minute), from April 2014 until the competition starts.
 

Can you feel the excitement yet...?
