Orlando Pirates match sold-out
Orlando Pirates announced their next PSL match — away to Richards Bay FC on April 10 at uMhlathuze Sports Complex — and tickets have sold out, with kickoff set for 19:30 and the game slated for live broadcast on SuperSport TV (x.com). That matters for traveling fans because sold‑out local gates plus a TV window mean planning travel and accommodations early or relying on the broadcast feed to catch the game live (x.com).
Orlando Pirates’ next league trip is already closed at the gate: the club’s fixture page lists the April 10 match at Richards Bay Stadium as “NO TICKETS,” one of the clearest signs that away demand swallowed the allocation before matchday. (orlandopiratesfc.com) That game is away to Richards Bay Football Club, and it is set for Friday, April 10, 2026 at 19:30 local time at the uMhlathuze Sports Complex in Richards Bay, KwaZulu-Natal. (orlandopiratesfc.com, supersport.com) Richards Bay’s home ground is the stadium inside the uMhlathuze Sports Complex, a municipal venue that the City of uMhlathuze presented in 2025 as ready to host top-flight football after renovation work. (umhlathuze.gov.za, izingaholdings.co.za) The sellout is not happening in a vacuum. Orlando Pirates went into this week sitting second in the South African Premiership table, and ESPN’s fixture list shows a packed April with Amazulu and Kaizer Chiefs coming right after Richards Bay. (espn.com) The immediate spark was form. The South African reported on April 9 that Pirates had just beaten Lamontville Golden Arrows 5-0, with Relebohile Mofokeng and Oswin Appollis both scoring braces before the Richards Bay trip. (thesouthafrican.com) Richards Bay also framed the game as a major occasion on their side. A report quoting the club’s official channels said the Betway Premiership match against Orlando Pirates at uMhlathuze Stadium was “officially SOLD OUT” within hours. (diskifans.co.za) For supporters, a sold-out league game changes the plan from “buy later” to “travel only if you already have a seat.” Orlando Pirates’ own fixture listing does not show tickets for this stop, while SuperSport’s listings show the match will be carried live. (orlandopiratesfc.com, supersport.com) The television detail matters because South African kickoff time is 19:30, and SuperSport’s match page and fixture listings place the game on its football schedule for Friday night. For fans who miss the gate, the screen becomes the stadium. (supersport.com, thesouthafrican.com)
