JOHANNESBURG : Technical problems delayed the sale of the final batch of World Cup tickets Friday, prompting FIFA to apologise to fans who camped out at ticket booths during a near-freezing night.

Thousands of South Africans queued for the last 160,000 tickets — including newly released seats for the opener and the final — which went on sale early Friday, FIFA said in a statement.
