Behind the numbers (NBC Philadelphia): 

"Tickets to attend the World Cup in Qatar have been divided into four categories:

Category 1 is the highest-priced ticket and is located in prime areas within the stadium.

Category 2 and Category 3 are tickets that are placed in seating areas within the stadium that offers a less optimal view of the action.

Category 4 is tickets within the stadium that are reserved exclusively for residents of Qatar."
