- Stadium Management SA CEO Bertie Grobbelaar confirmed multiple plans are in place to enhance security, manage stadium overcapacity, and tackle counterfeit tickets, with only implementation left.
- SMSA manages FNB Stadium, Orlando Arena, and Dobsonville Stadium, and introduced a digital ticketing platform called MyTicket last season to avoid access delays and counterfeit tickets.
- Grobbelaar noted that traffic congestion outside stadiums, not just late arrivals, contributes to fans arriving late for games.
- Parking tickets will be sold again this season with increased traffic management support to address congestion, following success at the last Soweto derby.
- Discussions have been held with Rea Vaya and Gautrain to increase derby tickets and introduce a combined ticket pricing system including transport from Park Stadium to improve fan access and scanning.
