Packages for the 2010 Fifa World Cup will go on sale in South Africa in June, for an average price of 1450, or R11391.

Match Hospitality’s chief operating officer, Pascal Portes, said: “We want to give priority to the domestic market. [Ticket] sales to the rest of the world will start in September through a network of appointed sales agents.”

Match Hospitality holds the hospitality rights for the Fifa Confederations Cup in 2009 and the World Cup in 2010.

Standard packages include a match ticket, coupled with hospitality services such as catering, parking, special access and entertainment.

A full hospitality package includes accommodation, transport and tours.

The five hospitality series packages are:

# A Big Six Series package, costing $1750 (R13784) that entitles the holder to watch matches in any of the big six stadiums around the country.

# The Gauteng Series, costing between $1400 (R10999) and $1750 (R13784), which will entitle spectators to watch matches at Loftus Versfeld, Ellis Park and Soccer City.

# The Venue Series, between $380 (R2985) and $1400 (R10999), will allow supporters to choose one stadium to watch all the games they want.

# A Follow Your Team Series package, priced between $1500 (R11784) and $1750 (R13784), means the holder can follow a team at any venue that they play.

# The Final Round Series for $3500 (R27497) to $6000 (R47139) for watching the World Cup final, semifinals and the quarterfinals.

Match Hospitality spokesman Peter Csanadi said: “These packages all include premium tickets to the games and supporters will not have to queue.”

Packages for the 64 matches in 10 different stadiums would cost the same price and be subject to the same terms and conditions worldwide.

The local organising committee boss Danny Jordaan said: “The key objectives of this programme are centered around tourism promotion and investment.”
