For 2010 FIFA World Cup™, tickets are priced in USD, but members of the general public who are resident in South Africa will be asked to pay for their tickets in South African Rand (ZAR).
With regard to the implementation of this decision, it was decided by FIFA and the OC to apply a fixed exchange rate of 7 ZAR to 1 USD in order to apply a constant price throughout the sales process to members of the general public who reside in South Africa. Although this exchange rate was close to the prevailing exchange rate at the time the decision was taken, since the decision was taken, the ZAR has devalued against the USD and therefore currently the amount payable by members of the general public who reside in South Africa is less than the amount they would have needed in ZARs to pay for tickets in USD (i.e. before the decision was taken to accept payment in ZARs from residents of South Africa).
The most affordable ticket category is Category 4, and Category 4 tickets are reserved exclusively for residents of South Africa. This ticket category was priced at a particularly low level in order to ensure that people living in South Africa who would not ordinarily be able to afford a ticket to attend a FIFA World Cup™ match have a chance to do so.

Opening Match Premiums
The Face Price for tickets to the Opening Match of the 2010 FIFA World Cup™, which will include the Opening Ceremony, is higher than the Face Price of tickets for other Group Matches, and therefore an Opening Match premium will be added to the ticket price should the team of the purchaser’s choice be drawn to play in the Opening Match. TST Series purchased for South Africa’s matches already include the Opening Match premium as South Africa will compete in the Opening Match. The price list below shows the prices for TST Series for South Africa and Team A2.
