Tickets reserved for residents of Japan for the 2002 World Cup will start selling Oct. 2 after a computer draw selects who can buy them, the Japanese World Cup Organizing Committee (JAWOC) announced Wednesday.
Of the 675,000 tickets to be sold domestically, 221,000 will be sold to the general public in Japan. Another 126,000 will go to people who live in the local venue cities. Some tickets will be reserved for people in wheelchairs.
JAWOC will also sell 45,000 to its domestic sponsors.
