Supporters eager to fill the stands won’t have to wait long. Tickets go on sale at 10:00 on Friday, 28 November, and will be available at Open Tickets sales points across the country — including Shoprite and Checkers outlets. Fans can also buy online via www.opentickets.co.za.
General access tickets have been priced at R100, and to curb bulk buying, each customer will be limited to a maximum of four tickets per purchase.
The league has once again urged fans to stay vigilant and only buy through authorised channels. Any tickets acquired from unofficial sellers or third-party platforms will be rejected at the gates and will not grant entry to the match.
With the trophy on the line, fan anticipation at fever pitch, and Polokwane preparing to host thousands, the 2025 Carling Knockout Final is shaping up to be one of the highlights of the South African football calendar.
