'Kaizer Chiefs & Orlando Pirates Nedbank Cup tickets sold even before going on sale! When, how, where? This is an accident waiting to happen, I hope they have enough security to make sure everyone is safe' - Fans

The two old rivals are set for another classic cup final clash this weekend but fans fear ticketing chaos could ruin the occasion for everybody.

Kaizer Chiefs will play Orlando Pirates in the Nedbank Cup final at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban on Saturday, May 10.

The Sea Robbers have won their last five matches against their old rivals across all competitions but in a once off final form can often go out the window.

Just days before the game, there has been controversy regarding the tickets, where about 10,000 tickets were oversold for the stadium's capacity and fans will be refunded.

The organisers claim it was the overwhelming demand for seats that saw the ticketing system crash and then allocate more tickets than the venue can accommodate.

However, fans are extremely unhappy with what has happened and fear that the confusion could lead to problems at the stadium on game day.

Have a look at what they said as sampled by GOAL.

    Sold out before they were available

    So official pages didn't even announce that tickets are available, but now they are sold out! We know what they did, next time we don't want their Soweto derby, they must keep it to Johannesburg because these tickets were only available for their people so that they can book hotels - Khanyisela Seko

    We might see something bad on Saturday

    We might see something bad on Saturday; last week, on Saturday, the game was delayed by 30 minutes, which affected the players and the technical team because players had to warm up again. Now tickets are sold in 48 hours, I hope they get enough security to make sure everyone is safe - Zakhele Madondo

    Motaungs pay referees!

    Mr Motaung and the Motaung family business, please make sure that the referee is well taken care of even if it means you give him the whole Nedbank prize money as long as we win the game. The humiliation is too much -  Keketso Motumi

    Open Tickets is an absolute joke, complete corruption, even the first was the same. They are incompetent. One minute, the system has crashed; the next minute, tickets are sold out! Bring back TicketPro, this is nonsense! - Phillip Hunter

    PSL shouldn't take this thing lightly, Stadium will collapse
