Organisers of this weekend’s Soweto derby between Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs are expecting the sold-out signs to go up before the close of business on Friday. Just over 9 000 general admission tickets were still available around lunch time on Thursday. Only 87 000 general and hospitality tickets are available for the 90 000-seater venue.
Organisers have promised tighten security at the FNB Stadium to ensure that the derby is an incident free day. Stadium Management South Africa Managing Director Bertie Grobbelaar says gates will open at 11h30. At the moment the two teams are only separated by a single point. Pirates are lying fifth on the DSTV Premiership with 30 point and Chiefs find themselves in sixth spot after the same number of games.
“We want to finish as high as possible. We want to make sure that we are in the champions league next season but first things first, this is a special match at the end of the day you get three points but you also get fantastic energy when you get the three points in the derby. You get your fans really behind the team and I will be happy to see the boys performing against Kaizer Chiefs.
