The World Cup 2010 has sent fans into a frenzy of planning for a trip to South Africa. Here, we show you how to get hold of tickets for the World Cup.
Demand for tickets for World Cup 2010 has surged after the draw for the first round games on Friday.
One million tickets were released on the Fifa site on Saturday, and although 55,000 sold in the first two hours, this is still the most reliable way of getting hold of tickets.
For the 2006 World Cup finals in Germany there were 20 million requests during the first sales phase for 750,000 available tickets.
And the race for tickets for this World Cup is likely to be equally strong – especially as England's first game, in Rustenburg on June 12 against the USA, is to be played in one of the smaller stadiums, with only 5,040 tickets allocated to England fans.
Through the Fifa website
You need to register on the site before being guided through the ticketing process, and then submit your request for tickets. A new sales phase began on Saturday, and runs until Jan 22. Your name will then be entered into the draw.
There were 222,000 applications in the first 48 hours after the draw, but Fifa point out that it doesn't matter when you apply as tickets from this sales phase will be drawn on Feb 1. You can apply for a maximum of four tickets, for seven different matches.
There will be further sales phases beginning on Feb 9 – on a first come, first served basis – and on April 15th.
Tickets will not be posted out but will be available for collection, at designated points in South Africa, from April 2010.
