Ajax Cape Town to play at the Cape Town Stadium.

Ajax Cape Town has confirmed that they have secured the Cape Town Stadium as a venue for their next home game. The Urban Warriors will play Platinum Stars at the Cape Town Stadium on Friday 17 September 2010 bringing back the football Fridays back to Cape Town. The game kick-off will be at 19h30.

George Comitis the Ajax CEO said, “Friday night football is back, and we are confident that we will get the people of Cape Town to come and support local football at a world class facility. This will be the first time that we try something new; it’s the first time a team runs an event at the new Stadium.

Ajax Cape Town is hiring the Stadium, covering all the costs and we will be responsible for event operations on Match Day. We have come to a very good agreement with the city who came to the party and they helped us to make this event possible.

We are capping ticket sales at 20 000, that’s the lower tier of the Stadium. The environment will be safe for families, especially for the children that turned up in their numbers for our last game.

It has always been our dream to play at a world class facility like Cape Town Stadium because we able to realise our dream of having families returning to watch local soccer.

We will promote reserved seating to ensure that families can sit together. A three tier ticketing system will be implemented and the pricing is as follows; R80 (West Stand- Blue), R60 (East Stand – Red) and R40 (North and South Stands – Yellow and Green).

Ajax Cape Town would like to thank the City and Sail Stadefrance for helping us to make this event possible. We have taken a risk as a club but we believe that this is a calculated risk and that we can make this work.

At this stage we taking it one game at a time and the more games can play at the Cape Town Stadium on a Friday night will be beneficial for Ajax Cape Town, the City and local football, “concluded George Comitis the Ajax CEO.
