FRANCE 98 – Press releaseTemplate

1 – Prestige Boxes and seats

These tickets were sold in France and abroad alike. They consist of seats sold with a catering service (meal or cocktail), served in a private area (box) or collective area (hospitality village). The tickets were principally bought by companies to enhance their public relations and business operations.

2 – General Public

  • General Public and Footballing Community: FRANCE 98 PASSES, tickets for the “big” matches (Opener, quarter-finals, semi-finals, third-place play-off and Final) and individual tickets sold by telephone to neutral spectators of the European Economic Space.
  • FIFA, national associations and supporters: sales mainly abroad (including the percentage sold by telephone to supporters of teams from the EES playing in each match).

3 – Partners

  • Commercial Affiliates: out of the 45 1998 World Cup Commercial Affiliates, 21 are French companies and 24 foreign companies. The number of tickets reserved for them is the quota allocated to them by the terms of their contract in exchange for their crucial financial contribution to the CFO budget (900 million FF out of a budget of 2.4 billion FF). A large number of these tickets have been passed on to the general public, both in France and abroad, via competitions and promotional operations.
  • Public authorities: tickets bought by ministerial departments, host cities, départements and regions.
  • 4 – Miscellaneous operations

    Operations organised by the CFO in collaboration with the State, territorial authorities and Commercial Affiliates mainly for the benefit of young people in France and abroad (Scolafoot, Cités Foot, Allons en france 98, Tournée fair Play- Snickers and so on).
