They allocated 889,305 tickets from a total of 6.2 million requests, which trounces South Africa’s 2010 World Cup numbers of 381,559 from 1.8 million requests, and beats out Germany’s 652,521 tickets from 8 million requests for the 2006 World Cup.
Of the 889,305 tickets, FIFA is reporting that 625,276 (71.5%) of the tickets went to Brazilian residents with only 264,029 (28.5%) being distributed among applicants from other countries. From those countries, The United States and England top the list of countries receiving the highest ticket allocations with 66,646 and 22,257 respectively, but some of the other countries on the list may be a little surprising.
