The average match ticket price will be $139. This compares to $136 for the 2006 World Cup in Germany.

However, there is a new category of ticket for this tournament just for South African residents. This category will represent 15% of all tickets for the 2010 World Cup, some 450,000 tickets, and will cost the equivalent of $20 but will be listed in South African Rand.

South Africans will also be able to purchase tickets from the other categories but these prices will be in US dollars.
