For the first time, fans were able to purchase available seats immediately rather than going through a lottery. Buyers also had the chance to specific seats for World Cup games instead of choosing one of four categories as required previously. Fans who purchased tickets in one of those four categories were able to see the exact location of their tickets for the first time.
