The 1.35 million tickets for the 2002 World Cup, of which 675,000 will be sold in Japan, will finally go on sale Feb. 15-March 14 by mail application forms or through the Internet, the Japanese World Cup Organizing Committee (JAWOC) announced on Monday.
After the abrupt postponement of ticket sales three days prior to the originally planned date of Oct. 2, a few changes were made. The general application forms can be acquired at post offices and official FIFA shops around Japan.
Tickets can also be acquired through the Internet at www.FIFAworldcup.com. A computer draw will decide to whom the 221,000 tickets allotted to the general public (including 2,100 wheelchair seats) will be sold. Those chosen will be informed by mail around June and a telephone service will also be available at 0990-68-2002 to find out.
