FIFA released 90 000 tickets today, 28 May 2010, for public sale across all 64 matches, including the final, the opening game and the two semi-finals. In total, there are about 160 000 tickets still available for the public via the current sales channels (FIFA.com, Call Centre, Ticketing Centres, FNB Branches and Shoprite/Checkers).

Of these, 34 000 are available in category 4 (the most affordable for South African residents only), 28 000 in category 3, 23 000 in category 2 and 75 000 in category 1.

"For the final there are only about 800 tickets left, but for other matches it's up to a few thousands," explained FIFA secretary general Jérôme Valcke.

So far, 96 % of the 2.88 million tickets have been sold. "The target is to reach about 97 or 98 % which would correspond with the figures from the past FIFA World Cups," said Valcke.
