Poor patronage hits 2010 World Cup tickets in Ghana
By Masahudu Ankiilu Kunateh, Ghanadot

Accra, Dec 17, Ghanadot - Ghanaians could be denied a great opportunity of watching next year’s World Cup in South Africa after the FA records a poor patronage on application for tickets for the mundial.

The FA opened application for supporters who are resident in the country and people who will purchase tickets via bank transfer through the Hard Ticket Application Form some ten days ago.

Ghana, a participating member at the World Cup finals, has been allocated 12% of purchasable match tickets. Ticket prices range from $88 to $176 for Ghana’s three group matches.

The ticket price is however fixed at $22 for the disabled, specifically users of wheelchairs.

Meanwhile executive committee member of the FA in charge of ticketing, Fred Crenstil, is urging the public to expedite their patronage drive.

“There is a likelihood that if people do not apply for the tickets now, people may end up not buying the tickets and Ghanaians will be denied the opportunity of watching Ghana play at the World Cup,” he said.

He however indicated that the tickets would put into an international FIFA random draw poll which Ghanaians will have difficulty accessing. The tickets are currently being sold at the offices of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) and online on the FIFA website.
