Currently (16 March), the two semi finals and final in Lyon are listed as sold out, along with the opening match and the Nigeria-France and Sweden-USA group games. Sold out is of course an enigmatic and shifting concept in the fast moving and hospitality package orientated world of international sport.
A ticketing email sent out before single matches went on sale cited the USA (25,000) and England (3000) as notable purchasers of ticket packages. Content possibly tailored for the English language mailout?
Good runs for the hosts and the USA will be the biggest factors affecting how well the pre-sales translate into filled seats in the stadia at the business end of the competition, presumably.
