The LOC are aiming to sell at least 500,000 tickets before the competition kicks off.
"We are nearing the 40,000 mark, in terms of tickets that have been sold for the matches," Afcon chief communications officer Sipho Sithole tells KickOff.com.
LOC chairperson and Safa vice president, Chief Mwelo Nonkonyane, encouraged South Africans to avoid waiting until the last minute to purchase their tickets.
Nonkonyane was speaking in Rustenburg during a flag-raising and inter-faith prayer ceremony being held at all host cities to mark Afcon week.
"All Africans must fill up all the stadiums and feel at home. We also encourage South African to be hospitable to our visitors by making them feel welcome," Nonkonyane says.
Fans are still able to purchase tickets for all games, with prices ranging from R60 in the group stages to R600 for the Final.

Kwaakwaaakwaaa.....tltltltltlt........Unthini Win or Loose?.....Anyway I doubt King is from Orlando i would know him...I know all the Die Hard Pirates supporters from that hood...He must must be from Kuruman.
Does anyone know what they choose the Pirates game to appear in the famous movies SAFE HOUSE by Denzel Washington.
Abo Andile Jali sebabukwa phesheya madoda, kuma movies.
WHOEVER THINKS THAT THE CURRENT ONE IS SELECTED ON MERIT MUST BUY TICKETS
IF THERE IS ANY TEAM IN THIS PLANET THAT WINS 6/8 CUPS AND STILL BE IGNORED THEN WHAT IS THE SELECTION CRITERIA BECAUSE IN ENGLAND MAN UNITED HAS MORE PLAYERS IN THE NATIONAL TEAM AS THEY ALWAYS WIN MORE TROPHIES THAN THE REST
I guese i am not the only one who feels this way - let those who love mediocrity attend the games for BB.
These are the same people who called VV the special one for winning nothing, these are the same people who support a team that has not won championship in a while.
COACH WE UNDERSTAND THAT YOU WANTED TO WIN LAST YEAR'S LEAGUE WITH THE BIRDS AND EZIMNYAMA LED BY LUCKY, INSPIRED BY BBM AND MXHOSA BOSSING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PARK TOOK IT IN YOUR HANDS EVEN AFTER YOU HAVE PRAYED WITH YOUR PLAYERS IN THE PITCH DURING YOUR LAST GAME, BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO HATE US THIS MUCH
I'M NOT SAYING YOU MUST TAKE EVERY PLAYER AT PIRATES BUT IF THEY ARE REALLY COWS WHERE WERE THOSE THAT YOU ARE FAVORING AND WHAT DID THEY WIN? KILLING THE YOUNG STARS SPIRIT, I'M A BLACK AFRICAN WITH RED BLOOD AND WHITE BONES
I spent thousands during 2009 & 2010... Surely I can't be fouled again by bo Shabba...
2012 AFCON won't see a cent from me....
(& I can't believe it's me posting such things... there was a time I'd defend Bafana to the grave.... sad)
