World football's governing body FIFA has begun selling 2014 World Cup tickets on its official website.

The tickets are available in the form of VIP packages but can only be purchased by those using a credit card belonging to tournament sponsor Visa, FIFA said in a statement.

According to Visa, 26,000 all-inclusive packages are available, offering priority seating, bar access, parking, prizes and a buffet meal service.

Values of the packages for the month-long event in Brazil vary from 590 US dollars to 4,543 dollars.

Ordinary tickets for non-card holders are expected to be made available in August.
