Stadium Management South Africa (SMSA), in collaboration with Kaizer Chiefs Football Club and Orlando Pirates Football Club, is implementing significant changes to the ticketing system at FNB Stadium and Orlando Stadium. These changes are aimed at enhancing spectator safety, improving crowd management, and making ticket access more convenient. Initially planned for implementation at the end of the current football season, these changes will now take effect immediately.

Bertie Grobbelaar, CEO of SMSA, stated:
"The recent Derby highlighted the increased extent of fraud associated with till slip tickets, which complicates stadium access, spectator safety and crowd management. As venue authority our priority has always been spectator safety and ensuring that legitimate ticket holders can be seated in time for kick-off. Given the challenges faced, and after consultation and with the full support of both Kaizer Chiefs FC and Orlando Pirates FC we have decided, to discontinue till slip tickets with immediate effect. This move is part of the continuing quality management improvement process of customer service and spectator experience."

The new ticketing system will be managed by Open Tickets, ensuring ease of access and greater security. Spectators will now have multiple options to purchase tickets.
