A little research on the matter shows that there is an estimated 3 Million Tickets planned for SWC 2010.
These will be sold through 5 Sales Phases - Phase 1 to 3 has been concluded with Phase 4 currently underway:
The next ticketing sales phase will start on 9 February 2010 and end on 7 April 2010. During these 58 days, more than 400,000 tickets will be made available on a first-come, first-served basis via
www.fifa.com/2010 or in FNB branches (in South Africa only).
From 15 April 2010 onwards, ticketing centres will be open in each host city (with two in Johannesburg) where fans will be able to buy tickets over the counter and also collect their confirmed tickets.
At the end of Phase 3, ticket sales (Phase 1 to 3 inclusive) were as follows:
Total = 1 881 268
South African Residents (1 319 963)
USA (134 320), UK (84 917), Germany (39 759), Australia (33 399), Brazil (18 773), Mexico (14 804), Canada (11 662),
Switzerland (11 045), Japan (10 558), Botswana (2 519), Mozambique (1 795), Namibia (1191) and various other smaller quantities.
There is a shortfall of approximately 196 563 in Fifa's reporting, but these are rumoured to include Hospitality and Sponsor allocations.
This already brings the number of visitors expected to 364 742, excluding the Teams themselves.
Not ALL bad me thinks
