What has been the overall philosophy behind the determination of the ticket prices?

FIFA always aims to take into account that the FIFA World CupTM is a premium global sporting event, irrespective of where the event is held. That is why the overall prices of tickets for the 2010 FIFA World CupTM are comparable to those for the 2006 FIFA World CupTM.

Nevertheless, the ticketing operation must also reflect the specifics of the domestic market of the host country. The ticket prices for the 2010 FIFA World CupTM therefore represent a well-balanced range that acknowledges the global nature of the FIFA World CupTM as well as the needs of the domestic market.

FIFA and the LOC are conscious of the fact that parallel market sales cannot be ruled out completely. However, everything is being done by all stakeholders to prevent such practices, as the main purpose of the introduction of the category 4 tickets and the ticket fund is to offer underprivileged low-income South African fans access to FIFA World CupTM matches.
