No more tickets are available for 2010 FIFA World Cup™ matches at Cape Town Stadium following the fifth and final stage of ticket sales, but those who have reserved and paid for tickets can now collect them from FIFA’s Ticketing Centre in central Cape Town.
Even though tickets for all eight World Cup™ games to be played at the city’s new 68 000 seat stadium have been reserved, FIFA said that a few tickets may still be released for sale to the public.
“Tickets for these games might still come back (in small quantities) to the public sales in the future,” FIFA said in a statement.

The final phase of ticket sales on Thursday 15 April 2010 saw huge demand across the country, with just over 100 000 tickets sold within the first day. The last remaining tickets for Cape Town matches were snapped up on a first-come, first-served basis within a day.
The opening of the 11 FIFA Ticketing Centres across the country also means that fans can now collect tickets reserved and paid for during previous ticket sales phases.
Fans will need to produce their ID/passport, FIFA Original Ticket Confirmation, and proof of residence (such as telephone/ utility account) for Category four tickets, which are reserved for South Africans only.
Cape Town’s official FIFA Ticketing Centre is at The Spearhead, 42 Hans Strijdom Avenue, Foreshore, and is open from 09:00 to 18:00 seven days a week.
A FIFA Ticket Terminal will also be located at Cape Town International Airport from 7 June to 11 July 2010.
Tickets are not issued by the host city, and all queries relating to games and tickets must be directed to FIFA.
