THE South Korean government is threatening to sue the North-west company responsible for marketing tickets for the World Cup.
Stockport firm Byrom has been blamed for the late delivery of tickets.
The Korean World Cup Organising Committee was forced to sell tickets through Byrom, a FIFA-appointed agent, but thousands of seats were left empty.
Losses of up to £550,280 per match were suffered by the Korean committee, it is alleged.
