Those prices aren't expensive - even for non residents

Great that the ticket will count as a visa..

Should do the same for F1

So, you go to the link in TC's article... it is in English.. Great ! ..But if you read the small print - one's names must be in Cyrillic characters..?!

That's going to be 'fun' for some non Russian speakers

I don't have time to read all that stuff

Can someone who has please tell me:

If I buy some tickets for the match here in Russia and send them to friends, they just fill in the application form and receive the Fan ID ? But it looks like they need to enter Russia to collect this?

I think this must be for RU citizens or those not needing / already have visas

Here's where to buy tickets:

My apologies ... talked to a mate who is involved with FIFA / Russia on the two events ...

If you have bought tickets and fill in the form with the reference numbers - you'll get the 'fan id' issued in your home nation and you CAN fill in the form in Latin characters

Just tried to book Germany v Australia at Sochi on 19th June 2017

The cheapest ticket is 295 USD or 19,800 Roubles if you are a Russian Citizen resident in Russia ?

This can't be right ..
RU citizen and  RU resident
Stadium: SCH - Fisht Stadium
Matches 04,06,11,14
Category: CAT 3 - Category 3

Demand:
Low
Category Price: RUB 19800

I don't think they'll be selling many tickets for this World Cup tester .... Sochi is more expensive than Moscow or Piter ?

Sounds like to much trouble!! I think its just easier to make a visa ... Time is money, I would rather have no friends arrive than spend 6 months trying to sort out what they need to do to get a free visa.

Thats the end of that subject for me..

Moby likes to take the long and complicated road if it's free. He imported a previous woman similarly.

Ah, yet another 'Manny knows Moby better than Moby' moment ? )

Short  [ and accurate ] version ...

Moby lived in another EU nation
Moby had two nationalities
Moby had no aim to move back to the UK
She had a son  who was nearly 18 - so Moby chose the route that was best for him - when it was clear that living in the UK was best for his education.
