Tickets for the 2010 World Cup will soon be allocated to those lucky soccer fans whose name has been picked from the hat. More than 1.6 million ticket applications have been received by fifa since the first ballot phase opened in February. With 30% of applications from South Africa and 70% from overseas there’ll be some mad scrambling for accommodation from around the middle of April when the first allocation is announced. So with this in mind, ask yourself a question. Is your accommodation World Cup ready? If not then don’t panic … here’s what you need to do.

1. Register your property on onelocation. (It’s FREE at the moment so you won’t pay a penny).
2. Mark as ‘available’ dates for June and July 2010 (World Cup runs from June 11 - July 11) under the Availability tab of your property listing. (Don’t worry there’s clear help on how to do this once you login)

And that’s it.

Soccer fans looking for accommodation on the site will do so by clicking on the various ‘World Cup accommodation‘ links. ONLY properties who’s availability is marked as ‘available’ will be shown in the results so your chances of being seen are far greater. We’ll also be sending out a World Cup special newsletter to holidaymakers which will also include links to available properties. The World Cup doesn’t start until June 2010 but eager soccer fans will want to secure their accommodation as soon as they can so start planning for the World Cup now.
