Riot police broke up fights and a 64-year-old man died in a queue as 550,000 World Cup tickets went on sale in shops on Thursday.
Desperate fans - and ticket touts - scuffled over the discounted seats, having queued all night with no food or water.
Tempers flared as the computer system serving 11 outlets in the nine host cities crashed minutes after opening.
