It’s all happening, people! The FIFA 2010 World Cup tickets are going on sale this week. I think I need to get a few, just in case the Mozambiquen connection doesn’t pull through (boys, I trust all is in order?).

Tickets are currently priced between R140 and R6,300. And I say “currently” because they’ll be going up considerably once they’re sold out and you can only get from me.

Got this from Faustine’s Baraza:

Tickets for the much-anticipated 2010 Fifa World Cup go on sale this week – and South Africans have been warned to move fast to avoid disappointment.

An estimated three million tickets are expected to be made available globally from Friday; 15 percent will go on sale exclusively to South African citizens.

But Local Organising Committee (LOC) chief executive Danny Jordaan has urged South Africans not to wait until the last minute to purchase tickets.

He said South Africans should “rush out and get their tickets” from this weekend to avoid disappointment.

“We would like to see the stadiums full of South Africans during the World Cup,” said Jordaan.

“People should be mindful that they won’t be able to buy a match ticket on the morning of the game or at the gate.

“South Africans have to buy their tickets early.”

Millions of soccer-mad spectators across the world will be scrambling for World Cup tickets from the end of the week.

Prices range from $20 (R140) for category 4 tickets, which are exclusively available to South Africans, to $900 (R6 300) for a category 1 ticket for the final.

In 2006, the cheapest ticket cost 35 euros (R357).

Those who wish to buy tickets can…

Amazing that some people went on and on for the last few years that we weren’t going to get the 2010 World Cup. CONSTANTLY. Almost WANTING it to fail.

And now look…. they’re selling tickets! That’s weird, don’t you think?

And now suddenly those same people are on board and want to make this thing a success, as though their negativity never existed?!

Thank God the positive people’s energy outweighed your sad negative approach to life and everything you do.

You will never be truly happy.
