World Cup still not a sell-out

7:09 am on 12 May 2010

Although around 200,000 World Cup tickets remain unsold exactly a month before the football tournament starts, organisers believe the finals will be a sellout.

Chief South African organiser Danny Jordaan says they're beyond 90 percent sold and has no doubt it will be a sell-out.

FIFA launched a final drive last month to sell the remaining half a million of 2.7 million tickets, targeting the black South Africans who are the biggest fans of football in the country.
