Calling all soccer fan holdouts: This is your last chance to score tickets to this year's World Cup games in Philly.

Why it matters: FIFA expects attendance at this year's tourney to eclipse its all-time record of 3.4 million, which was set in 1994.

Driving the news: Last-minute tickets go on sale today at 11am, part of FIFA's fourth and final phased tranche of sales.

Catch up quick: Philly is hosting five matches from June 14 to June 27, featuring soccer powerhouses like Brazil and France, plus a Round of 16 match on July 4.

The intrigue: Interest in the tourney has been through the roof, with more than 500 million ticket requests during the Random Selection Draw phase, FIFA says.
