Early indicators point to strong demand for tickets to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, despite criticism over holding the typically summertime tournament in November and concerns about the availability of accommodation.
About 1.5 million fans, a little more than half the population of Qatar, are expected to descend upon the tiny Gulf state during the event. The country has billed the close proximity of its eight stadiums as a perk for fans, even teasing the possibility of attending more than one game per day.
