All tickets for the World Cup are expected to be sold despite a limited number going on sale after late returns from some associations, Franz Beckenbauer has confirmed.
“It is a pity that they were returned after the deadline, but I am sure they will all be sold,” said Beckenbauer, the president of host Germany’s organising committee.
More than three millions tickest have been sold and vice-president Wolfgang Niersbach said the returned tickets had been processed for re-sale on the organisers’ web site.
