Sport - World Cup   

Scramble for tickets

Tickets for the final were being sold on the black market for $1,875 as thousands of fans made a last-minute scramble to watch the big game.

In newspaper classifieds this week, one ticket was being sold for 15,000 rand ($1,875) while there have been some odd requests in the run-up to the high-profile final at the Wanderers.

Most of the demand for tickets is from Indians, who have flown in not only from across South Africa but also from various parts of India.
