South Africa, granted an automatic berth in the 2010 World Cup, is getting ready to kick off the 19th edition of the games set for international play from June 11 to July 11, 2010.

It will be the first time that the tournament has been held in Africa, with millions of visitors expected to travel to Johannesburg to marvel at new sports venues now being constructed for the occasion.

2010 World Cup Tickets

Fans have been lining up at ticket counters and online worldwide to apply for the 1 million tickets that went on sale following the World Cup 2010 final draw and schedule announced on December 4, 2009.

To get tickets, applications must be made by January 22, 2010, with various country associations taking part in World Cup tickets distribution. World Cup tickets to the hottest matches (the USA - England game, for example) are by tradition distributed by lottery due to the overwhelming demand.

World Cup ticket prices range from a low of $19 for group games on sale in South Africa to a high of "anything goes" internationally on the black market by unscrupulous agents and scalpers. In addition, an official FIFA.com ticket advisory also warns feverish fans to be on the lookout for unscrupulous internet sales — offering likely bogus or non-existent tickets.

The 2010 World Cup TV Schedule

Live Coverage of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa will be broadcast live in the UK on both BBC and ITV.

In Canada, soccer fans can tune into CBC for complete coverage. In the U.S., the World Cup will be covered in its entirety by ABC Sports & ESPN, totaling more than 65 hours of programming including a nightly 30-minute World Cup Live show airing on ESPN or ESPN2.

A viewership totaling 25 million households will also be watching on ESPN Star Sports on the Indian Subcontinent, while rabid Australian and New Zealand footy fans are expected to be glued to SBS all month long.
