World Cup ticket ballot process nears end

The ICC Cricket World Cup 2003 ticketing computer is currently busy processing applications for individual match tickets on the Ticket Window random draw system.

The Ticket Window was open between October 8-November 22, during which the public was invited to make application for 100 000 tickets available for individual CWC matches.

The computer is now randomly drawing applications and the process is being monitored by auditors Deloitte & Touche.

Towards the end of next week, applicants will be contacted via email to inform them of their success or otherwise.

No tickets will be on sale to anyone other than those who are notified of their success in the Ticket Window.

Successful applicants will be sent a Transaction Reference number and may then purchase their tickets through any of the following mechanisms:

The recommended method of purchasing the tickets is either through the website or the call centre. Payment can be made by credit card, and tickets will be delivered to the physical address specified by the applicant, free of charge anywhere in South Africa.

A delivery charge of R120 is levied for international deliveries.

Successful applicants may choose to collect their tickets at any of the Stadiums, but must take their Transaction Reference number and ID document or passport along when doing so.

If successful applicants contact the the call centre or go to any of the stadiums, they must have their ID or passport ready.

Tickets must be purchased on or before 10 January 2003, otherwise the reservation will be released.
