As the day to buy World Cup tickets fast approaches, South Africa Local Organizing Committee (LOC) chief executive Danny Jordaan has urged South Africans not to wait until the last minute to purchase tickets.
An estimated three million tickets are expected to be made available globally, starting on Friday.
15% of these will go on sale exclusively to South African citizens.
Jordaan 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 starting on Friday.
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).
MY POV: Hope I get some good seats! South Africa, here I come!
