2010 World Cup Tickets

February 27, 2008

We have received a large volume of emails from people interested in getting tickets for the 2010 World Cup finals in South Africa and will keep you up to date on the ticket arrangements via this page.

The first batch of 2010 World Cup Tickets have been made available via www.fifa.com from 20th February 2009. This will be the first of a total of five sale phases which will run until 31st March 2009. To have a chance of getting tickets for the World Cup, you must enter a ballot with tickets allocated on a random basis to the lucky participants.

All orders will be entered into a random selection draw on 15 April 2009 at the same time regardless of whether they were submitted on the first or the last day of the first sales phase. Should demand exceed availability for a certain category or match then available tickets will be awarded by ballot (i.e. through an electronic random selection draw).

2010 World Cup Tickets

As well as individual tickets for the 64 matches, team-specific ticket series are also available for the country of your choice. These are valid for anything from three to seven games.

Tickets are available in three categories with category 4 reserved exclusively for South African residents. The least expensive ticket in category 3 costs $80 USD.

There will be four further sales periods for the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa, with the second running from 4 May to 16 November 2009. During this period, tickets will be attributed based on the order in which the application is received and, of course, subject to availability.

World Cup Ticket Alerts

Obtaining tickets for the 2010 World Cup is not going to be easy, so when opportunities arise you have to act fast. We would recommend that you signup for our ticket alerts service by entering your name and email address in the box below. You will be notified by email as soon as tickets become available for the World Cup in South Africa.

How do I buy tickets for the 2010 World Cup Finals?

There have been 4 categories created for the sale of tickets for the 2010 World Cup with the average ticket price being $139 which is roughly the same price as the World Cup tickets for Germany in 2006.

Category 4 tickets will be a bargain $20 but are only available to the South African public to allow the poorer section of society to be able to afford to witness the glory that is the World Cup. The maximum price that will be charged for a ticket is $900 for a category 1 ticket to the final.

For the first time FIFA have announced that they are going to give away 120,000 tickets which will cover all the rounds even up to the final in the World Cup to the South African public to allow even more to witness the event.

The first phase of ticket sales will take place in February 2009 with the participating nations each receiving 12% of the ticket allocation for their games, if there are any more available these will go on public sale most likely through FIFA’s official website but we will update you with regards the exact dates for ticket sales to the finals when we have the information.

Also for the first time since the 1998 World Cup in France tickets are also being distributed to worldwide travel companies so that they can arrange special travel packages, so we will give you more information on these and links to purchase the tickets as soon as we can.
