Just over 130,000 extra tickets have now been sold since the fifth sales phase started on Thursday this week and every match in Cape Town and Durban is now sold out.

FIFA also confirmed that both semi-finals and the final has sold out and the number of sold out matches stands at 29 of the 64.

The opening match between South Africa and Mexico at Johannesburg's Soccer City stadium on June 11 is now also sold out and most of the matches that are not yet sold out are the likes of South Korea v Greece at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth and Paraguay v New Zealand in Polokwane.

These matches are in fairly remote locations and with teams that are not expected to bring that much support and it is where the Local Organising Committee will need to put a little effort in to make sure there are no empty seats shown to TV audiences all over the World.

While nothing has been confirmed how they will ensure all seats are full the Local Organising Committee have confirmed that all World Cup games will be full and it is expected that unsold tickets might be given away to local schools or charities.
