Tickets for South Africans to watch Bafana Bafana play in the World Cup start from R140 - if you sit behind the goalposts - going up to R6,300 if you want a seat close to the pitch.
Here is the cheapest way to watch ‘the boys’:
(All prices quoted are based on per person per match for Category 4 rates - meaning you would be seated behind the goals):-
R490-00 June 11, Group Match 1 - Bafana Bafana playing against Mexico at Soccer City
R140-00 June 16, Group Match 17- Bafana Bafana play against Uruguay at Loftus Versfeld
R140-00 June 22, Group Match 34 - Bafana Bafana play against France in Bloemfontein
# R770-00 Total expenditure thus far for 3 games.
R350-00 June 26-29, payable to see Bafana Bafana play as one of the last sixteen teams
# R1120-00 Total expenditure thus far for 4 games.
R525-00 July 2-3, payable to see Bafana Bafana reach the quarter finals
# R1625-00 Total expenditure thus far for 5 games.
R525-00 July 6-7, payable to see Bafana Bafana in the semi finals
# R2170-00 Total expenditure thus far for 6 games.
R525-00 July 10, payable if Bafana Bafana are in the running for 3rd or 4th place
# R2695-00 Total expenditure thus far for 7 games.
OR
R1050-00 July 11, payable to see Bafana Bafana in the running for 1st or 2nd place in the final (7th game).
# R3220-00 Total spent
Pick a top team to follow
Another option is to buy a Team Specific Ticket to follow one team only - this could be any of the teams you think will make it through to the final.
Based on the special rates for South Africans, and again being seated behind the goalposts, the cheapest way to buy the Team Specific Ticket would cost R3350-00. This would get you entry into all seven games up to the final - should your team make it all the way through.
If you want a better seat in the stadium and are willing to pay for it, a Category 1 Team Specific Ticket for seven games to be seated alongside the pitch will set you back R19,096.
