Cape Town - From Friday, May 28 at 09:00, there will be around 90 000 additional tickets for the 2010 Soccer World Cup available for public sale across all 64 matches, including the final, the opening game and the two semi-finals.
A breakdown of ticket availability
In total there are about 160 000 tickets still available for the public via the current sales channels (FIFA.com, Call Centre, Ticketing Centres, FNB Branches and Shoprite/Checkers).
Of these tickets, 34 000 are available in Category 4, 28 000 in Category 3, 23 000 in Category 2 and 75 000 in Category 1.
“For the final there are only about 800 tickets left, but for other matches it’s up to a few thousand”, explained FIFA Secretary General Jérôme Valcke.
So far 96% of the total of 2.88 million purchasable tickets have been sold. The additional 90 000 tickets for public sale have become available following the finalisation of seating arrangements at all FIFA World Cup match venues, after the final stadium inspections have been completed, and further adjustments of different ticket allocations.
“The target is to reach about 97 or 98% which would correspond with the figures from the past World Cups and this would make us very happy,” said Valcke.
“One thing is clear, this is the last big inventory available for the public,” emphasised Danny Jordaan, CEO of the 2010 Soccer World Cup Local Organising Committee.
