We want to give the world a picture of full stadiums, not a picture of empty seats and this phase is the most important stage during which we will work hard to get South Africans and international people to come to the stadiums, FIFA secretary-general, Jerome Valcke, told the media. Tickets will be available from 15 April over the counter at FIFA ticketing centres and from 19 April at Shoprite and Checkers sites nationwide.
