2010 World Cup ticket sales phases: We are currently in the 2nd sales which is ending at the 16 Nov 2009. During this phase all tickets will be attributed based on the order in which the application was received, and, of course, subject to availability. The 3rd sales phase is starting at the 5 Dec 2009, a day after the final draw in Cape Town and will last to the 22 Jan 2010. All correctly submitted applications received during this stage will be considered for allocation. If the number of applications for Match or Team Specific tickets exceeds the number of tickets available, tickets will be allocated by a random selection draw taking place on 1 February 2010. Please note: it makes no difference whether you apply early, on 5 December 2009, or late, on 22 January 2010. Each correctly submitted application will have the same opportunity of being successful in the draw.
