Coke Zero Launches FIFA WORLD CUP 2010 Ticket Giveaway
Tournament tickets up for grabs on packs of Coke Zero throughout September
England could qualify for the FIFA 2010 World Cup this evening, and thanks to Coke Zero football fans could win their place on the plane to South Africa the very next day!
England play Croatia at Wembley Stadium tonight knowing a win will guarantee their place in South Africa, and Coke Zero are giving football fans the opportunity to avoid the scramble for tickets by exclusively giving away packages for next summer's showcase in September.
Every day between 10th - 29th September one lucky football fan will win a once in a lifetime trip to South Africa, including flights, accommodation and tickets to a FIFA World Cup group game. Altogether 20 pairs of tickets will be given away during the promotional period.
Entering the promotion couldn't be easier. Fans just need to look out for special packs of Coke Zero (330ml cans and 500ml bottles) featuring a unique entry code and enter the code online at www.cokezone.co.uk or via SMS to 88555. Fans can enter as many times as they like on any given day. The first draw takes place on 11th September with draws each day all the way through until 30th September.
James Williams, Head of Brand Experience, Coca‑Cola GB, said: "Should England qualify tonight the excitement and anticipation will reach fever pitch with football fans starting to plan their trips to South Africa. To see your country play in a World Cup is a once-in-a-lifetime experience and giving away tickets in September means we can hopefully maintain the feelgood factor and help plenty of people book their summer holidays that bit earlier!"
