The German World Cup Organizing Committee has announced that ticket orders for the soccer spectacle will be five times oversubscribed in the first sales window that ends on March 31. The number of ticket orders will reach the four million mark by March 31 with only 812,000 tickets up for grabs in the first of five windows which opened on February 1. "That means only about every fifth ticket order can be filled," Wolfgang Niersbach, vice president of Germany's organising committee, told a group of Berlin journalists. Niersbach added that about 85 percent of the tickets ordered had come from people inside Germany, allaying fears that most of the tickets would be bought by overseas fans. Applications have come in from over 100 countries around the world including Burkina Faso and Macao.
