     reported that there are only 2.5 million tickets available
     to the World Cup, "about 1 million fewer than at USA '94." 
     Each country gets 8% of the stadium's capacity, which leaves
     the U.S. delegation about 2,500-3,000 tickets.  Davis added
     that "even the media have felt the bite of limited tickets."
