These staff will work alongside SAPS and stadium security to make sure that spectators enjoy a secure and seamless experience.
Tickets are easily obtainable from many TicketPro outlets scattered throughout the city. However, residents and motorists should be aware of temporary road closures on game day. Some restrictions include no parking or stopping on Cross Boulevard, Lower Klipfontein Road, and Hickory Street between Clover and Springbok streets, among others.
