Trying to get a ticket for the 2018 World Cup

Around four years ago, living in Liberia, I tried in vain to get tickets for the World Cup. Now I am at it again: I have logged on to FIFA's online sale, and applied for tickets for two matches. As four years ago my expectations are low: I am aware their were empty seats during games I had applied for, and for which I would have paid more for than FIFA was asking. At the same time FIFA does not allow sales through any other platform than their own, even taking people to court. It all lacks transparency and clarity yet again, and I hope I am wrong in expecting empty stadiums yet again.
Results of my application will come in March...
