Free Tickets for the 2010 Soccer World Cup

120,000 Category 4 tickets to be allocated to the South African ticket fund to provide free tickets to South Africans

As part of the overall 2010 ticketing operation, 120,000 category 4 tickets will be allocated to this ticket fund, which will offer them on a complimentary basis to fans in South Africa so that they can witness the world's largest single-sport event at first hand.

The ticket fund will consist of a certain number of tickets for all matches, from the opening game right up to the final.

The tickets will be distributed free of charge by FIFA, the South African LOC and FIFA Partners Adidas, Coca-Cola, Emirates, Hyundai / KIA, SONY and VISA to South African residents through a special programme that will form part of a social responsibility initiative and act as a "catalyst" for sustainable change.

David Will, the chairman of the FIFA 2010 ticketing sub-committee, expressed his satisfaction with the overall ticketing strategy:

"Together with the South African local organising committee, not only have we managed to provide a low-price category and a well-balanced price range but also to innovate by creating a special ticket fund. These arrangements take account of the importance of the FIFA World Cup and cater at the same time for the needs of fans in South Africa."

Local organising committee CEO, Dr Danny Jordaan echoed these sentiments:

"All South Africans contributed to bringing the FIFA World Cup to our country. So it is only befitting that we make tickets available to the ordinary fans at affordable prices."
