Federer vs Nadal South Africa: Additional seats and viewing zone added

Following the overwhelming demand for tickets to see the much-anticipated Match in Africa event, organisers have added extra stands to accommodate an additional 2 670 spectators to see Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal in action.

Yes, 20-time Grand Slam Champion Federer will play his first-ever match in Sub Saharan Africa at the Cape Town Stadium on Friday, 7 February 2020. Federer’s opponent will be 19-time Grand Slam Champion and rival Nadal. The match will be played to support children’s education in Africa. 

Match in Africa 6: Additional Seats

According to Computicket, after tickets initially sold out to the match in record time, a randomly-selected ticket ballot system will be used to allocate the remaining seats at the match.

Limited spots will be made available, with match seats being allocated via a ticket ballot which opens to the public on 13 December 2019 at 09:00 and closes at 00:00. The ballot system is commonly used for sports like the Australian Football League and the World Team Cup. And fairness is assured, as a random algorithm is used to select successful ticket buyers.

*Kindly note that a successful registration does not guarantee a ticket. It only entitles you to a chance to purchase a ticket, as specified below.

How it works:

• Each application will be restricted to two tickets per basket and only one entry per customer. Double entries will be excluded.
• The ballot registration system will require customers to submit their banking details; however, no transaction will take place until the successful buyers are announced. Please note that only Visa and Mastercard will be accepted.
• Successful ticket buyers will be drawn at random and will be chosen by an automated system on Wednesday 18 December 2019.
• Only general admission tickets, priced at R650.00 per ticket are available.
• Regrettably customers with a mobility related disability or customers who require special assistance may not participate in this ballot as the new stands are not accessible to wheelchair bound individuals. Wheelchair accessible seating was sold out during the previous ticket sale offer.
• Customers who are successful in obtaining a Match In Africa 6 – Roger Federer vs Rafael Nadal tickets will automatically be charged via the card details supplied and captured at registration.
• Customers must ensure that they have enough funds for all the tickets available on their nominated card. There will be no follow up on any rejected credit cards once the ballot has been run. Should your credit card fail to process, your tickets will be reallocated to the next eligible customer. It is strongly advised that you check your credit card limit and fund availability with your bank or financial institution prior to registration.
• If you have been successful in obtaining a ticket, you will be notified via email or through the transaction of the tickets on your nominated card.
• If you have not been successful, your details will be discarded. You may however purchase tickets for the Viewing Zone.

*It is advised that applicants read through Computicket’s Terms and Conditions thoroughly.
