Introduction Never before has a FIFA Confederations Cup boasted such a high-profile line-up. The 2013 edition promises to be one of the most attractive tournaments ever from a sporting point of view, with four FIFA World CupTM champions, including current holders Spain, as well as Italy, Uruguay and hosts Brazil – the latter making their record seventh consecutive appearance – all in the starting blocks alongside continental champions Mexico, Japan, newcomers Tahiti as well as the yet to be confirmed African champions. The FIFA Confederations Cup, set to take place between 15 June and 30 June 2013, can only increase anticipation for the FIFA World CupTM one year later. Approximately 830,000 coveted tickets will be available for purchase exclusively via FIFA.com, the official event site. Although the 16 matches represent only a quarter of the FIFA World CupTM schedule, its field of first-class participants will guarantee a smaller but no less appealing affair. Football fans can expect fascinating encounters on the pitch, in the stands and throughout the six host cities. This Media Information Kit contains all necessary Ticketing information for the FIFA Confederations Cup Brazil 2013.

Bodies and entities involved in the Ticketing Operations FIFA is determined to ensure that tickets will be accessible to all football fans in Brazil and across the world. Therefore, FIFA has established a special entity, the FIFA Ticketing AG chaired by FIFA Secretary General Jerôme Valcke, and also created a dedicated Ticketing Sub-Committee, chaired by Horst R. Schmidt, in charge of defining the Ticketing policy and related decisions for the FIFA Confederations Cup 2013 and the 2014 FIFA World CupTM. While the FIFA Ticketing AG is managed solely by representatives of the world governing body of association football, the Ticketing SubCommittee also comprises members of the international football family and the chairman of the Local Organising Committee, José Maria Marin. The FIFA Ticketing Centre (FTC), operated by MATCH Services AG, is responsible for the delivery of the ticketing operations based on the FIFA Ticketing Policy.

General Information on Ticketing 2.1 Ticket Sales Structure The first tickets for the FIFA Confederations Cup Brazil 2013 will go on sale on 21 November 2012, when FIFA Partner VISA will be helping to fuel fan excitement surrounding the event. This is by giving VISA card holders worldwide an exclusive opportunity to purchase a limited amount of tickets in a pre-sale, which will run for 10 days (21-30 November) prior to the Final Draw for the event. During this pre-sale phase, VISA card holders will be able to buy tickets on a First Come First Served basis for categories 1-3. As of 3 December 2012 all tickets categories, including category 4 which is exclusively reserved for Brazilian residents, will go on sale. Football fans may then apply for tickets anytime until 15 January 2013. During this sales phase, it makes no difference as to when the application is made, as they will all be processed together. If the number of applications exceeds the number of available tickets, then a random selection draw will take place at the end of the sales phase to determine the recipients. During the Last Minute Sales Phase tickets will be made available for sale on a First Come First Served basis only, up until the final match day of the tournament. Please refer to section 4.2 for further details. By providing this sales phase structure, FIFA aims to put in place a sales platform where all customers have a fair and equitable chance of securing tickets. WWW.FIFA.com will be the exclusive sales channel for all individual match tickets complemented by Over The Counter Sales during the Last Minute Sales Phase.

• Category 1 is the highest priced and located in prime areas within the stadium. • Categories 2 and 3 are located outside of the Category 1 area. • Category 4 is the most affordable and is reserved exclusively for residents of Brazil. The seating at each stadium and each match is configured differently. Category boundary locations may differ from match to match.

• Individual Match Tickets (IMT) are tickets for a specific match and • Venue Specific Ticket (VST) Series are Ticket strips to attend matches played in a specific venue of the customer’s choice.

Ticket Application & Purchase 4.2 Sales Phases Sales for the FIFA Confederations Cup 2013 are divided into the following sales phases: • VISA Pre-Sales Exclusivity Phase (First Come First Served) – 21 November 2012 to 30 November 2012 • Advanced Sales Phase (Request Gathering Period for a Random Selection Draw and First Come First Served) – 3 December 2012 to 15 January 2013 and 15 February 2013 to 7 April 2013 • Last Minute Sales Phase (First Come First Served) – 15 April 2013 to 30 June 2013 The VISA Pre-Sales Exclusivity Phase is prior to the FIFA Confederations Cup Draw on the 1 December 2012. During this period Category 1-3 Tickets will be available on a First Come First Served sales basis, exclusively for VISA card holders both internationally and domestically. For more information on the First Come First Served sales process, please see below.

Advanced Sales Phase: Request Gathering and the Random Selection Draw Period: During the Random Selection Draw process, all valid Ticket applications will have an equal chance of successfully obtaining Tickets. This is regardless of whether the Ticket application was received at the start of the sales phase or at the end of the sales phase. Once the sales phase is closed, all Ticket applications for oversubscribed products or matches are put into an electronic Random Selection Draw to ensure that all applicants have an equal chance of success. Prior to the Random Selection Draw it is necessary for the FIFA Ticketing Centre to review all the applications submitted to check for duplicate and fraudulent applications. Once these applications have been removed, the process will begin. In order to satisfy the Category 4 requirements specified under the General World CupTM Bill / Lei Geral (Law No. 12.663/2012), the FIFA Ticketing Centre will conduct a dedicated random selection draw for this category. The first 50,000 Category 4 tickets within this Random Selection Draw will only be offered to Elderly people, Students and

All valid applications are processed according to the order in which they are received and subject to availability.

Bolsa Family members on a priority basis. In this Category 4 priority draw, FIFA will not grant any tickets to mixed applications (i.e. Elderly, Students and/ or Bolsa Family members applying with other persons). The sole exception to this rule will be those instances where an adult applies with students and/ or Bolsa Family members that are minors (under the age of 18). After the first 50,000 Category 4 tickets have been offered to the Elderly, Students and / or Bolsa Family members in the Random Selection Draw any remaining Category 4 tickets will be made available through a Random Selection Draw to the Public who are resident within Brazil. For this event there is the added complexity of ‘prioritisation’ of certain groups within the community applying for Category 4 Tickets as stipulated within Brazil’s FIFA World Cup™ law.

Advanced Sales Phase: First Come First Served Period: During the First Come First Served process, all valid Ticket applications are processed according to the order in which they are received, and subject to availability. Once the Ticket application has been processed, applicants will receive an e-mail confirming the successful purchase. Boleto customers will be provided with additional information relating to the Boleto payment process. Available Tickets within the First Come First Served are normally those Tickets that remain unsold from initial sales phases, or Tickets that have been released for redistribution by other Customer Groups. The Last Minute Sales Phase:

Once the Random Selection Draw has taken place, during the administration process, all Ticket applicants will be contacted to inform them whether they have been successful, unsuccessful or partially successful.

The Last Minute Sales Phase will commence on the 15 April 2013 and run until the 30 June 2013. During the Last Minute Sales phase, all Ticket orders will be received via www.FIFA.com or over the counter at designated FIFA Venue Ticketing Centres in each of the Host Cities. Any previously remaining unsold Tickets or released Tickets will be made available during this sales phase.

Ticket Terms & Conditions 5.1 Key Information Customers should be aware of the following points prior to requesting Tickets: • Read all the accompanying information associated to the Ticket Purchasing process. • Ensure that all the required data information, as specified within section 4.3, is readily accessible prior to the Ticket purchasing process. • Select the correct products and categories – verification and validation will be carried out during the Ticket purchase and collection process. • Read the general Ticketing terms and conditions to ensure that Ticketing purchase rights are understood. • Tickets are confirmed subject to full payment. To prevent Ticket requests being cancelled, ensure funds are available on the registered payment card or Boletos are fully paid prior to the specified expiry date.

5.2 Use of Tickets Each FIFA Confederations Cup Brazil 2013 Ticket is an official document that provides evidence of the Ticket holder’s permission to enter a stadium on match day. “The FIFA Confederations Cup Brazil 2013 General Terms and Conditions for the Use of Tickets” (GTCs) are the specific terms and conditions under which that permission is granted. The GTCs are issued prior to sale through all ticket sales channels and are available in a downloadable format online in the ticketing section at www. FIFA.com. For ease of access, the GTCs are also registered with the Brazilian Registry Title and Deed (”Registro de Títulos e Documentos – RTD”). Furthermore, the GTCs are printed on every Official Ticket Confirmation, and on the backs of the Tickets themselves (in the form of an abridged version containing the key information of the GTCs). The GTCs reflect the basic contract between the Ticket holder and FIFA Ticketing AG or 2014 FIFA World Cup™ Brazil Ticketing Ltda. The GTCs describe the rules required for the customer’s participation at the FIFA Confederations Cup Brazil 2013. For example, the GTCs: (a) require

Ticket holders to sit in the seat assigned to the Ticket for crowd control purposes; (b) allow FIFA to eject a fan whose behaviour is harmful to other fans; (c) provide consent to facilitate the broadcast of the matches worldwide; (d) prohibit Tickets from being used in ambush marketing campaigns by companies that are not sponsors of the FIFA Confederations Cup; (e) prohibit Tickets from being subject to unauthorised or illegal transfers; (f) identify basic risks inherent in attending sporting events and require the fan to accept those risks, (g) identify what will happen if a match has to be cancelled for unforeseeable reasons, etc

5.3 Transfer of Tickets FIFA’s policies allow fans to purchase tickets directly for their own use, in order to provide fair and equal access to all fans at official prices established by FIFA. For the reasons described in detail in Section 7.1, entitled “Prohibition on Unauthorised Resales and Cooperative Enforcement Activities,” FIFA objects to secondary market resellers buying and reselling match tickets. Therefore, as one operational measure intended to protect fans and the integrity of FIFA’s ticketing operation, there are limits on the transfer of tickets. Full details regarding the Ticket Transfer and Resale policy will be posted online a few months before the matches commence. In the meantime, only true fans who actually intend to attend matches should purchase tickets.

5.4 Stadium Rules The Stadium Code of Conduct outlines in detail certain safety and security measures and policies and provides guidelines about what the FIFA World CupTM authorities will expect in terms of behaviour from: (a) every person using a match Ticket, as well as (b) every other person accessing the stadium using an event accreditation for working purposes. For the ease of access, the Stadium Code of Conduct is also registered with the Registry Title and Deed (”Registro de Títulos e Documentos – RTD”). Furthermore, the Stadium Code of Conduct will be available in due course on www.FIFA.com and also will be posted at the stadiums on match days.

Regulations 7.1 Prohibition on Unauthorised Resales and Cooperative Enforcement Activities According to the legal framework in Brazil, the resale of sporting event tickets, at a price superior to the one indicated on the ticket, is prohibited by article 41-F of Law No. 10,671/2003 (the “Fan Statute”). Article 41-G of the Fan Statute considers it a crime to supply, deviate or facilitate the distribution of tickets for sale at a price superior to the one indicated on the ticket. In addition, according to article 16 of the FIFA World CupTM General Law, anyone who sells, offers, exposes for sale, negotiates, deviates or transfers tickets to the FIFA Confederations Cup or uses tickets to the FIFA Confederations Cup for advertising, sales or promotional purposes, as competition or sweepstakes prizes or uses the ticket availability for advertisement for these purposes is subject to civil sanctions and criminal penalties. Therefore, FIFA will cooperate with Brazilian governmental authorities to combat the dangers to consumers that clearly arise out of the unauthorised sales of tickets to the FIFA Confederations Cup. FIFA has appointed MATCH Services as its agent to manage its enforcement efforts. Working together with the appropriate Brazilian governmental authorities and MATCH Services, FIFA seeks to minimize the following types of harm to consumers: • Consumers paying significantly higher than the official prices for tickets For any major event of international significance, the resale price mark-up can be multiple times the official price. FIFA sets ticket prices with a view to making tickets accessible to people from all economic backgrounds. The unauthorized reseller mark-up renders high demand tickets economically out of reach for many fans. • Fraud For events of international significance and importance, it has been the case that unauthorized resellers, who purport to have legitimate tickets, actually sell or resell counterfeit tickets. Security procedures will impede access to the stadium for anyone using a counterfeit ticket. However, the innocent consumer, who purchases the counterfeit ticket from an unauthorized reseller, will only realize the harm when access to the stadium is denied.

• Non-delivery It is quite common for unauthorized resellers to offer to sell tickets that they do not have, on the hopes that eventually they may get some official tickets and can then fulfil the orders they have taken in advance. If the unauthorized resellers fail to secure the tickets, they may offer consumers refunds. Such refunds do not help consumers necessarily, in particular the number of fans who travel significant distances to Brazil to watch and who make booking arrangements on the assumption of being provided a purchased ticket. Thus the damage suffered by the consumers will in any case exceed the refund potentially offered by the unauthorized resellers. • Mis-description Another common problem for consumers who purchase tickets from unauthorized resellers is that the type of ticket product, the terms of the tickets and/or the location of tickets are not disclosed properly or described by the unauthorized resellers, leading to frustrated and misled consumers. These types of consumer harms are exacerbated by the significant number of unauthorized resellers who transact online. For some fans, who are truly passionate and determined to buy tickets, the lure of colourful, well-designed websites, developed by companies that are: (a) in the business of reselling tickets to other events (which they may have the legal right to resell), (b) offer refunds if they fail to deliver tickets, and (c) seem to have legitimate businesses, is just too hard to resist. If the consumers cannot get tickets from official ticketing sources because the match has sold out, passionate fans in particular will buy tickets online from the unauthorized resellers, without realizing the extent of the risk they are taking by doing so. Consumers should be aware that the only sources of legitimate tickets are identified online on www.FIFA.com Working with appropriate governmental authorities, FIFA and MATCH Services will endeavour to implement educational, operational and legal procedures to protect fans from the harm of unauthorised resales.
