Football World Cup Tickets

Although it is very early, some of you may be thinking well ahead and wondering if you will be able to get tickets to the next World Cup in South Africa in 2010. The ticketing system will be controlled by FIFA and there will approximately three million tickets available for the 64 matches that will take place. Of those tickets a third will go to sponsors, the teams and the FIFA family. Another third will go to international visitors and the last million tickets will go to South African residents or possibly residents of Africa.

Ticket Release

Ticket sales will likely take place in 2009 and you will be given lots of notice. The website will also probably go up several months before ticket sales begin so you will be able to gather all the information you need and it will answer every possible question you may have.

Lottery

As of 2005 there was an estimated 890,000,000 people living in Africa which means not everyone that wants a ticket is going to get one, so FIFA will manage the allocation of tickets usiong a lottery. When tickets do go on sale, you will need to visit a special website that will be set up by FIFA and request what matches you want tickets for and the number you require.
