Fan numbers in Brazil?

Anybody know what the travelling support numbers are for the competing nations?

 

I heard we took about 7K. Dunno how many got tickets.

Italy took 200.

 

They said the US has the most traveling support which is 20,000 people. Those 20,000 have already purchased 150,000 tickets.

 

Estimate for Australia's fans is around 10,000.

 

Yeah and the pubs in London now have no bar staff.

 

Interesting how the fans of non-football nations are outnumbering the traditional football countries quite significantly.

 

I heard Mexico took 10k to their last game, it was around the same numbers for both Uruguay and Costa Rica too.

 

probably because they dont qualify as often

 

Australia have qualified for the last 3, the USA have been ever present for 20 years, if it was just a novelty it would have worn off by now.

 

Interesting how much closer the non football nations are to Brazil and how much easier/cheaper it is for them to get there.

 

861,590 supporters attend Fan Fest around Brazil in first five days. Expected to pass 1million tonight.

FIFA stadium figures: 98% capacity over 14 World Cup games. Highest - Argentina v Bosnia (100%). Lowest - Spain v Netherlands (92.8%).

FIFA figures?

Not to be trusted.

 

No way the figures are that high.

 

They'll be doing a Man Utd and quoting sold tickets even though some grounds look a 1/4 empty.

 

From what I have heard.

Argentina: Around 50,000
Chile: 32,000
Colombia: Around 30,000
England: 10,000
USA: 20-25,000

Cameroon, Italy, Nigeria etc brought very few <1000
Quite a few south american teams brought quite a few fans who did not get tickets and watched it on screens in brazil.

 

Its not like a group of season ticket holders haven't turned up as with Man United, surely almost 100% of the tickets sold will be used.

Perhaps the empty seats are corporate tickets given to sponsors and not used?

 

Latest ticket sales:

Brasil 1.395.886;
USA 198.208;
Argentina 61.477;
GER 58.983;
ENG 58.105
Colômbia 55.497;
Austrália 52.313

 

Good to see that we're up there with the Germans as the top supporters outside of the land-connected teams from the American continents.

 

12,000 there from Australia. Amazing that a country where rugby league gets bigger crowds brought so few to the Rugby League world cup in comparison.
