Fans from across the continent rushed to pick up the entirety of the first batch of tickets released by the Logal Organising Committee, with more tickets set to be released in the near future.
81,209 tickets were sold within the first 24 hours of tournament organizers announcing the launch of ticket sales on 10 October 2023.
Ticket sales from Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and India led the way globally. Twenty-four teams from across Asia will compete for the continent’s most prestigious football competition across nine stadiums in Qatar between 12 January and 10 February, 2024. A total of 51 matches will be played within one month. This will be the third time Qatar hosts the competition, having successfully organized before in 1988 and 2011.
The opening match between hosts and defending champions Qatar and Lebanon will be played at the iconic Lusail Stadium, with a capacity of approximately 88,000 spectators. The venue, which hosted the Final match of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™, will also host the final match of the AFC Asian Cup Qatar 2023™.
Prices for group-stage match tickets start at QR 25 and can be purchased online through the official ticketing website (http://asiancup2023.qa). Spectators from outside Qatar can also purchase tickets from the same website. Hayya will not be a mandatory prerequisite to enter stadiums.
Spectators will be able to follow their favorite team through a variety of packages. All matches will have accessible seats available to ensure that disabled fans can enjoy a barrier-free experience. This includes wheelchair-accessible seating as well as seats for people with limited mobility.
Qatar’s compact nature means the farthest distance between any two stadiums is 75 km. This will enable fans to attend more than one match per day. Visiting fans can stay in one venue throughout the tournament as they make their way between stadiums using a modern road infrastructure and rail network.
All tickets for the AFC Asian Cup Qatar 2023™ will be digital. They can be presented as mobile tickets from any mobile device. Fans can download the tickets to their digital wallets, meaning they don’t need Internet connectivity at the stadium. This creates a seamless and paper-free experience, reaffirming Qatar’s commitment to delivering a sustainable tournament. Fans wishing to resell their tickets can do so through the tournament’s official ticket resale platform.
