Horst Schmidt Quotations

With the end of the third sales phase, 2.6 million of the approximately 3 million available tickets have been sold, including 1.1 million to customers around the world through the official Web site.

We have an absolutely clear conscience because everything humanly possible is being done with the greatest care for security, also for safety in case of extreme panic.

When one considers the fact that 2.7 million tickets have been sold and that around 15 million fans applied for tickets on the Internet, the proportion of those prepared to give up their tickets is only in the region of 2 percent.

Despite the enormous interest, those applying in the remaining two days do have a realistic chance of getting a FIFA World Cup ticket.

This affects German football overall, but it isn't specifically a theme for the World Cup.
