The stage is set for a blockbuster MTN8 final, with Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns preparing to battle for the trophy at Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban on Saturday, October 10.
With supporters now turning their attention to the stands, organisers have confirmed when tickets will go on sale, how much they will cost and what fans need to know before joining the online queue.
When do MTN8 final tickets go on sale?
Tickets will go on sale online from Friday, October 2 at 10:00.
The tickets will be sold exclusively through the official Open Tickets platform.
An online queue is expected when sales open, meaning supporters are encouraged to be ready before 10:00 to avoid missing out.
Fans should have a valid banking card and sufficient funds available before entering the queue.
How much are MTN8 final tickets?
Each ticket for the Orlando Pirates versus Mamelodi Sundowns final will cost:
R150 per ticket
Supporters will be limited to a maximum of four tickets per person per transaction.
Once tickets have been placed in a buyer’s cart, there will be a 10-minute window to complete payment.
If payment is not completed within that period, the booking window will expire.
Where will the MTN8 final be played?
The final will take place at:
Moses Mabhida Stadium, Durban
The match is scheduled for Saturday, October 10, with kick-off at 18:00.
The Durban stadium is set to host the MTN8 final for the 10th time, returning to the spotlight after a period of refurbishment and rehabilitation.
Pirates chasing another MTN8 title
Orlando Pirates enter the final with an opportunity to claim the competition for a fifth consecutive season, according to the information provided by the organisers.
That adds another layer of significance to a fixture that already pits two of South Africa’s biggest clubs against each other.
Mamelodi Sundowns, meanwhile, will be looking to end their wait for the MTN8 trophy.
The result will therefore determine whether Pirates extend their recent dominance of the competition or Sundowns finally reclaim the silverware.
Fans warned about ticket scams
Supporters have also been warned to purchase tickets only through the official Open Tickets platform.
Fans should avoid unauthorised third-party sellers, particularly where tickets are being offered outside the official sales process.
With demand expected to be high, unofficial sellers may attempt to take advantage of supporters looking for tickets after the online allocation begins.
Children also need tickets
Every person entering Moses Mabhida Stadium will require a valid ticket.
This includes children, meaning parents and guardians should make sure every member of their group has a ticket before travelling to the stadium.
Hospitality packages available
Hospitality packages will also be available from Friday.
Supporters interested in hospitality options can make enquiries through the Moses Mabhida Stadium hospitality team.
