Tickets are now no longer available to the opening game between South Africa and Mexico, both semi-finals and the final. All games in Durban and Cape Town have also sold-out.
Last Thursday South Africans were offered half a million World Cup tickets in supermarkets after FIFA dropped a rule that tickets could only be bought online or in a ballot.
According to Bloomberg, in South Africa only 10.8 per cent of the 49.3 million population has access to the internet compared to a world average of 26.6 per cent.
However, sales did not go totally smoothly as police resorted to pepper spray to break up one fight in Pretoria and a pensioner died of a heart attack in a queue in Cape Town.
