  • Story Text: France's Post Office proceeded on Friday (June 5) with the final delivery of World Cup tickets.

    The last batch of World Cup tickets, carefully sealed so that even postal workers cannot lay eyes on them, were delivered on Friday (June 5).

    Just a few days before the kick-off of the World Cup, most of the soccer fans who finally received their tickets expressed their deep relief.

    One of the soccer fans lucky enough to get tickets for the opening match on Wednesday (June 10), Brazil against Scotland, showed his delight.

    "These tickets are for the opening ceremony.It's great, I'll be there!" he said.
