FIFA unveiled the design of the World Cup 2010 tickets this past Friday. That’s FIFA Secretary General Jérôme Valcke and Organising Committee CEO Danny Jordaan at the launch in Soweto. My initial reaction was that these tickets are a little on the large side, and that maybe there has been some sort of reverse Spinal Tap Stonhenge mix-up at FIFA HQ, but turns that giant ticket is just for show. Actual tickets will be normal size.

Read on for an up close look at the sample ticket. To zoom in further, lean forwards.

The ticket design has been unveiled ahead of the final phase of sales, which begins this Thursday, April 15th. South African residents will be able to buy tickets over the counter, while non-South Africa residents can apply for tickets via the FIFA website. If you can’t wait ’til April 15th, or if your application is unsuccessful, then you can still buy World Cup 2010 tickets through our affiliate here.
