Cape Town match tickets snapped up fast

Tickets to the eight 2010 FIFA World Cup™ matches being played in Cape Town have nearly all sold out.

FIFA released about 90 000 tickets on Friday 28 May 2010, including about 18 000 for Cape Town Stadium matches.

FIFA’s ticketing system initially crashed due to the high demand for tickets on Friday.

According to the latest match availability figures (https://lmsfwctickets.fifa.com/LMS/MatchAvailability.aspx), most Cape Town matches are sold out, and no tickets are currently available.

Some games have tickets which are “currently not available”, meaning these may become available at a later stage. Fans are advised to check for updates on the website (www.fifa.com), call the FIFA Call Centre (083 123 2010) visit FNB branches and certain Shoprite/Checkers branches, or visit the Cape Town FIFA Ticketing Centre at The Spearhead, 42 Hans Strijdom Avenue, Foreshore. This is open from 09:00 to 18:00 seven days a week.

However, it’s a case of “No ticket, no problem” for those who don’t have tickets, as they can watch the matches live at the official FIFA Fan Fest™ on the Grand Parade, or at one of the Public Viewing Areas, or fan jols. These are situated at the Bellville Velodrome, the Vygieskraal Stadium in Athlone, the Oliver Tambo Sports Hall in Khayelitsha, and the Swartklip Sports Hall in Mitchells Plain.
