I don't know how many more times we are going to mention this but we think it is important and so do the South African government, so as long as they are talking about it, so are we. Do not buy tickets from street vendors or anywhere other than official sales offices.

Why are we telling you this again. Easy; you will get into trouble and you will be prosecuted and chances are you will be caught. Don't risk it, you do not want to spend an hour or two in a South African jail all because you didn't know where to buy your ticket.

"The government will not tolerate any unruly, disruptive and unsafe behaviour that impacts negatively on those attending public events," government spokesman Themba Maseko said in a statement on Wednesday, on the back of the injured supporters trying to get into a game.

"Those found in possession of illegal tickets will be prosecuted," he said. Do you get the message? Found in possession with illegal tickets equals jail time. Don't risk it because you will get caught and you wont get it so you'll only end up wasting money.

You've got more chances jumping the gates at Buckingham Palace and having a cup of team with the Queen of England than you do of getting into a FIFA World Cup game without a proper ticket.
