FIFA World Cup 2010: 500000 tickets go on sale from April 15

FIFA World Cup is going to start from June 11 in South Africa and the tickets would go on sale over the counter to the general public in South Africa from April 15. FIFA said 2.2 million tickets had been sold ahead of the fifth and final sales phase. Football fans in the host country South Africa had bought 925,437, followed by the United States with 118,945 and Britain with 67,654.
FIFA World Cup organizers launched a drive on Friday April 9 to persuade South Africans to buy up 500,000 unsold match tickets, after European demand for the football spectacular fell short of expectations. During the month long world football event in South Africa, 63 matches are scheduled to be played including final. With 62 days to go before the football World Cup, FIFA is trying to encourage fans from other African countries to attend the continent's first World Cup.
