Cape Town - Another 164 000 tickets for the soccer World Cup will go on sale on Friday, FIFA announced on Wednesday.
Speaking at the ceremonial handover of Cape Town Stadium, FIFA general secretary Jerome Valcke said the tickets were spread across all 64 games.
He said this was the final tranche of tickets originally reserved for FIFA, that were being put back into the system.
"Because we have a lot of buffers. Myself, I have thousands of tickets to accommodate a number of requests," he said.
"We will put back these tickets into the public system. It will be the final time that we are making such announcement.
98% of tickets
"It's a quite large number of tickets from game one to 64."
They varied from 200 tickets for the South Africa-France game in Bloemfontein to 2 000 tickets for the semi-finals.
"It becomes available on Friday morning, all the tickets... and then it's over."
A FIFA official said sales of these tickets would bring the total sold to 98% of the 2.88 million originally available.
The official said the new tickets would be available through all the usual outlets in South Africa, and through FIFA's website.
