It’s Under no circumstances As well Early To Get Your Globe Cup Tickets

South Africa 2010 starts precisely nine months from these days. You’ve got plenty of time to get your tickets, correct?

Ha! As a matter of fact, tickets to the tournament 1st went on sale back in Could, so you can be assured the real diehards are already sittin’ pretty with theirs.

The buy method is unnecessarily complex as well, with sales divided into five phases, every with its own applications and ballots. The Guardian lays it out here.

On a related note, I watched Argentina lose one of their last qualifying matches to Paraguay two nights ago, which raises the real possibility that this will be the initial World Cup not to feature the blue and white stripes given that 1970.

Now that’s one thing. All the far more reason to get those tickets (unless you’re a Maradona fan)!
