Tickets will go on sale in February 2009 via FIFA's website.

The World Cup FIFA 2010 will be held on South Africa. It is proclaimed that two million tickets are to be sold for this world cup, said by the FIFA organizing Committee in Johannesburg. At Safa house, chief officers of the organizing committee gave a taster of some of the logistics involved in preparing for the world cup tournament.
Fifty-five thousand rooms were needed for accommodations, R13.6 billion had been invested into transport programmes, a 30,000 square meter international broadcasting center was being built and about ten fan parks would be set up. Recently promoted head of legal affairs, Leslie Sedide said two million tickets would be made available to the general public for the World Cup, while 120,000 more tickets were set aside to be given away for free to "nation builders". Tickets will go on sale in February 2009 via FIFA's website. There will also be paper ticket applications available at various outlets in South Africa, and internationally on request.
Transports and logistics chief officer Skhumbuzi Macozoma said 14,000 new luxury and semi-luxury coaches would be brought in, to be used during the tournament, and 10,000 taxis would be contracted to event routes. Host cities would be adding extra commuter buses and extending their operating hours. He also said over 33,000 of the 55,000 rooms required for FIFA staff and international spectators had already been sourced. CEO of the organizing committee Danny Jordan said that now that the Beijing Olympics was finished, the focus was on the 2010 World Cup and updates on progress for preparations would now be provided as regularly as possible. Jordan told reporters the organizing committee would need to engage with government where preparation costs had gone over budget.
He said these budget overspends were related to factors in the global economy beyond FIFA's control, such has the rising price of diesel.
