Despite assurances from Fifa that it would not happen, the World Cup ticketing system again appeared to crash when 90-thousand additional tickets for the tournament were supposed to go on sale at nine this morning.
Irritated soccer fans queued in icy, and at some places, wet weather though the night at ticketing centres, only to be denied the opportunity to get their hands on the coveted tickets.
FIFA Secretary General Jérôme Valcke in a statement said that last night he together with Danny Jordaan visited one of the ticketing centres located in Sandton, Johannesburg, and was deeply moved by the dozens of fans who were already queuing in the hope of getting a World Cup ticket.
In a statement Valcke say he would like to sincerely apologise to all the fans that have been affected by the problems in the ticketing sales system.
