Problems arose during France 1998 when a string of hospitality companies collapsed, blaming unreliable ticket suppliers that led to millions being owed to creditors.
The new system, however, should ensure tickets come from a contracted FIFA partner at a fixed price.
For the UK, Circa Group has been appointed as an official third party agent by iSe-Hospitality AG - which was granted exclusive worldwide rights for the Official Hospitality Programme by FIFA - and is offering 'Follow England' packages.
The package - costing B5,160 + VAT - guarantees that the buyer will see all three of England’s first stage games.
Circa Group chief executive John Hockey said: “What’s really critical here is that you are guaranteed a category one ticket, at a guaranteed price. These packages offer an ideal way for major British, and multinational companies based in Britain, to entertain their clients, or incentivise staff.”
