Soweto Derby Carling tickets cost R70 to R170

Chiefs, Pirates fans urged to select teams for friendly

Tickets for the Carling Black Label Cup between Soweto giants Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates are on sale, the organisers said yesterday.

Tickets come in three categories – unreserved seating on Level 5 at R70, Level 1 at R100 and reserved seating on Level 2 at R170. They are available at Computicket, Shoprite and Checkers stores countrywide.

Hospitality packages are also on sale through SAIL at www.sail.co.za

The Carling Black Label Cup has seen a sold-out affair since its inception in 2011, and this year is expected to be no different as the two Soweto giants gear up for the 2017/18 season.

Both sets of fans can now not only vote for their preferred starting XIs but can also select their preferred formation.

The four formations provided in this year’s edition are, firstly, the most used 4-4-2 – giving both attacking and defensive balance.

Secondly, the offensive 3-5-2, and thirdly the 3-4-3 formation – placing more players up the pitch for highpressure football and, lastly, the most popular attacking formation in modern football, the 4-3-3 formation – leaving enough cover at the back for possible counterattacks.

In addition to selecting their teams’ line-up and formation, two lucky Consumer Coaches who are over the age of 18 can stand a chance of winning the match-day experience, which affords them the opportunity to join their favourite team in training, sit in the pre-match briefing and be part of the technical set-up on match day.

They can do so by purchasing a Carling Black Label beer and dialing *120*660*.
