2010 FIFA World Cup tickets will go on sale tomorrow on FIFA’s website, FIFA.com, as well as through branches of First National Bank.

The sale starts online at 1pm and runs until the 31st of March.

Fans will however have several opportunities to buy tickets right up until the day of the World Cup final on 11 July 2010. South Africa has budgeted for a 60 percent sale of FIFA Soccer World Cup tickets.

Addressing a media briefing in Johannesburg yesterday, Local Organising Committee CEO Danny Jordaan conceded that it would be naïve to suggest that there will be no backlash as a result of the financial crisis that has spread round the globe.

Fifa’s Delia Fisher sais the tickets a divided into four categories.

“Category Four which are specifically reserved for South African residents which will start at R140 for group stages”

Fisher said that this category made sure that even those South African who could not be able to afford the tickets be able to contribute too.

“Category Three tickets which will cost about R560 for group matches, then category two R840 and category one R1 120”
