Pretoria - Tickets for the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifying match between Bafana Bafana and Egypt are on sale countrywide. 

Tickets are available at Computicket outlets and Shoprite Checkers stores. Lower tier tickets will cost R150, and upper tier tickets are going for R50.

The much-anticipated clash will be played at the Ellis Park Stadium in Johannesburg on Saturday, 26 March 2011. Kick-off is at 20:05.

The South African Football Association (SAFA) has received word from the Egyptian Football Federation confirming that the Pharaohs will arrive in South Africa on Sunday, 20 March 2011.

SAFA has urged members of the public to get their tickets in time to avoid any disappointment closer to match day.

SAFA's acting CEO, Pinky Lehoko, said: "This is Bafana Bafana's second match of the year, and it is perhaps the biggest and most difficult so far in our AFCON campaign. 

"We are expecting many fans to come in big numbers to support our national team, so it's important that fans go early to get their tickets to avoid the last minute rush."
