The team at worldcuptickets.biz have therefore put together ticket packages for South Africa 2010.
The World Cup only comes around once in every four years and is watched by billions worldwide; very few people will be privileged to be there and soak up the atmosphere. This is why considering a full package is a must – if you’re going to go, go full out! So what do we mean by a package and what are the different components that make up a World Cup Package?
1. Tickets:
This is quite obvious as without a ticket you aren’t getting in anywhere! As is stated in the Guide to World Cup Tickets it is important to source and buy from reputable sources. It may be useful to know therefore, that our tickets are 100% guaranteed and that we are FIFA official partners. Finally, there are different categories/prices for tickets and so you’ll be able to choose to suit your needs
2. Hotels and Accommodation:
The government of South Africa have literally invested hundreds of millions on building a rigid and adequate infrastructure to cope with the expected influx of people to the country come this summer. Finding a place to rest your head at night will therefore be extremely difficult and inevitably inflated prices.
3. Flights:
The South African airports/airways will be very busy this summer. As with everything else, flights to and from the country will be expensive and you’ll have to pay hefty premiums just to fly out on peak times. Flights are therefore an important part of any package, especially if you require some flexibility.
4. Transport:
When you get to a new city it is sometimes hard to get used to the transport system. You will need reliable and swift transport to and from games, from reputable sources. Care and attention must be taken when organising transport – it won’t be a simple case of jumping onto the first taxi that drives by! The above are the key components of most world cup packages.
For the first time in history, the FIFA World Cup (the biggest football event in the world) will be held on the African continent. This coupled with the amazing natural beauty will see people from every corner of the globe head over to South Africa and soak up the atmosphere
There will be 64 matches played at this year’s tournament in South Africa and approximately 3 million tickets available. As with every World Cup tournament, demand for seats outstrips supply – it is the biggest sporting event in the world! The tickets have to be carefully distributed and adequately allocated to everyone concerned. The official FIFA site states that one third will go to the local South African fans, one third will go to all international teams and the remaining third to teams, sponsors and FIFA representatives. Tickets are still, however, available for anyone that wants to purchase them as part of travel packages to the FIFA World Cup.
Although all the stadiums are different in terms of size and build, FIFA has four different categories for World Cup Tickets:
- Category 1 - generally located alongside the pitch
- Category 2 - located adjacent to Category 1, in the corners
- Category 3 - located adjacent to Category 2 behind the goals or in the corners
- Category 4 - tickets are usually located behind the goals
Obviously different ticket categories have different prices. Pitch side seats can sometimes cost three times as much as others. You should therefore take this into account when buying.
A total of Ten stadiums will host matches and the Nine South African host cities will be: Cape Town, Durban, Pretoria,Bloemfontein, Johannesburg, Nelspruit, Polokwane, Port Elizabeth, and Rustenburg. The opening game and final will be help at the stadium in Johannesburg, which is therefore the key venue.
Whichever game you plan to go to, you will find affordable packages here within this site. When buying world cup tickets, the following are some general guidelines:
- Buy through authorised sales channels – this is important and will ensure your tickets are real and genuine.
- If you have a small budget, then try and get the higher (cheaper) category tickets.
- Each stadium has its own ‘Code of Conduct’ so be wary of this.
The FIFA 2010 Word Cup looks to be a fantastic event and you too can be there for a once in a lifetime experience. If you haven’t been to South Africa, then you can also explore this wonderful country. Explore this site and buy your world cup tickets.
