More than two-thirds of the third round of 2010 World Cup ticket requests have come from South Africans, reports www.iol.co.za
The third round of sales opened last Saturday, and 200 000 of the 352 000 ticket requests received were from locals. The bulk of the ticket applications have been done online, with only 2 566 tickets applied for via FNB branches.
A FIFA Fan Club has been created on the www.fifa.comwebsite, allowing soccer fans for 2010 to support their national team. The club will give fans access to tickets for matches in which their favourite teams play, and will allow seating for groups of fans supporting the same team.
Last minute tickets will also be available in each of the Host Cities from April next year, at which soccer fans can but tickets from FIFA ticketing centres. A call center is also planned for telephonic bookings.
