Ticket Stampede

May not want to wait too long to buy your World Cup tickets.

More than 500,000 from the final batch to go on sail (about one-third of the total) were ordered in the first 10 days they were made available. That's a pretty brisk pace and is explained by fans now knowing exactly who is playing where and when. In the group stage, anyway.

You can see that story here.

Most of the tickets were sold inside South Africa. Which makes sense. They're hosting it, and it's not exactly easy to get there from ... wherever you happen to be that isn't South Africa.

Apparently, approximately 500,000 tickets to the event are left. Of a total of more than 3 million.

Don't let the grass grow under your feet. If you live somewhere where grass grows.
