Football lovers in Mzansi have had a tough time securing tickets for the Nedbank Cup final between the defending champions Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs at the Moses Mabhida Stadium.
The organisers provided the tickets on Monday, May 5, and thousands of football-hungry fans flocked online to purchase them, which led the system to crash.
The Premier Soccer League confirmed there was an unprecedented technical hitch that affected the process. However, the fans are unhappy with the situation.
Ticket sales were supposed to be opened a long time ago
This thing is very dangerous and might have serious consequences come game day. People will enter for free by force – Jabulani Silence
Forget about the tickets, just give Kaizer Chiefs the Nedbank Cup, they deserve it – Mdluli Wangempela Lucky December
The sale of tickets was supposed to be opened a long time ago to avoid this mess – Thabiso Matlhoko Wakwa Kwenamore
What is the unprecedented surge they are talking about when we have been saying Moses Mabhida is small for a derby? They just want to kill us, nothing else – Motho Feela
You can't take a cup final between Chiefs against Pirates to a small stadium and expect things to go well – Taole Standard Motsoanakaba
Clash of interests between FNB Stadium management and Nedbank is nonsense
If they're talking about refunds, clearly they're saying the tickets are sold out because why would the bloody agents refund instead of giving tickets? – Phoenix South
Where are the tickets? Are they sold out? If yes, to whom? Because we didn't get them. If not sold out, when can we expect them? We are confused, put us out of our misery, and say something clear for all to understand – Slindile Precious KamaMchunu Mkhize
I wish I were a Sundowns fan. They hardly come across this system glitch, they always buy their tickets in peace – Chuene Mororiseng Messi
This clash of interests between FNB Stadium management and Nedbank is nonsense. A game of magnitude should've been taken to the FNB stadium. I foresee a stampede in Durban and lives could be lost, something which could've been prevented – Bongani Mgubela
This proves that Kaizer Chiefs were not supposed to be in the final; they won with an offside goal – Enic Vibez
