WC tickets remain unsold

World Cup organisers say 500,000 tickets are unsold and fear "tragic" empty stadiums at football's biggest tournament.
FIFA said tickets would go on sale to the general public in South Africa on 15 April. Organisers have less than two months to sell nearly a quarter of the tournament's total match tickets to avoid empty seats.
Organisers conceded that their online process was not suited to local fans, who are generally poor and not used to buying tickets on the internet.
The FIFA secretary-general, Jerome Valcke, said: "There is always time to learn." The chief of the organising committee, Danny Jordaan, said it would be "tragic" for the host country if stadiums were empty and urged fans to "go buy now".
