Well, you just need to call at 011 340 8000 or 083 915 8000 to book your tickets for any match of this September 2007 tournament to be played at three South African stadiums - Wanderers In Johannesburg, Kingsmead in Durban & Newlands ground in Cape Town. You can reserve your seats through south african credit cards or any good foreign n International credit cards. Calling at those inaugural twenty20 world cup tickets call center, for detail information to buy tickets, will charge you just the normal cell phone rates..

I've read that tickets are selling up fast, so may be you'll find those lines busy. In that case - try Natasha Stewart at 011-340 1500 for twenty20 world cup matches played at Liberty life Wanderers stadium, Clive Jaglal at 031-335 4200 for match tickets at Sahara stadium in Durban. In case you are want to buy tickets for matches to be played at Sahara Park Newlands in Capetown - call Wendy Punt at phone number 021-657 2003.

Another online option for buying tickets is computicket.com which is now the official ticket selling office for the 27 match event. mind you, there is also an opening ceremony, just before the first match between South Africa & West Indies on 11th sept ~ the day this tournament starts. the full schedule.

Cost of tickets : Rand is the south African currency. So, for group stage matches - R20 is the ticket price for sitting on grassy area, whereas grand stands will cost R40. This means 1.40 pounds & 2.80 pounds respectively.

Tickets for super stage of this 'first of its kind' cricket tournament will be charged at R40 & R80 respectively for same grass stand or grand stand. The opening ceremony n first game of the tournament can together be watched at a price of R100 & R160 respectively.

If you want to attend one of the five double-header days - two matches in one day at the same stadium - you won't have to pay hefty prices. For group stage double-headers, the tickets prices are R40 [£2.80] and R80 [£5.60]. the second stage tickets will have a price of R60 [£4.20] and R120 [£8.40].

The warm-up matches : will be played at Benoni, Centurion & Potchefstroom. but interestingly, neither India nor England will play any such practice match because both teams arrive in South Africa for this 20/20 cricket world cup the last.

Seating arrangements : I expect to add some pictures of seating arrangments of all three cricket stadiums that will be hosting the pro20 world cup matches this September, some time very soon. do comeback for that.

The India vs Pakistan twenty20 world cup match : will be played at Durban ground on 14th September 2007, the 3rd n last on that day - Friday. No extra cost for this match, so I guess plenty of cricket fans will try to book their tickets as soon as possible.
