With games beyond the group stages yet to be confirmed, planning beyond that first round becomes a bit more pot luck. It also means the cost can spiral. You need to budget twice: for the group stages, and then against staying into the second round and beyond. In fact, your best bet for savings could well be to choose a host city and plan your trip using it as a base. Each city gets a minimum of four games – anything else is a bonus. Read our guide to buying Brazil World Cup tickets.
