South Africa has been abuzz with thousands of fans queuing across the country in a bid to get their hands on tickets for this summer's World Cup as the final sales phase opened.
FIFA announced last week that 500,000 unsold tickets would be made available in a first-ever over-the-counter drive, and the response in the host nation has been emphatic, as more than 53,000 were sold in the first eight hours across 11 ticketing centres and hundreds of branches of First National Bank, while 23 matches - including the opening game, the two semi-finals and final - sold out.
