Media Note: Media are reminded they must have their accreditation re-validated for the final.

This process is a simple one that involves receiving a hologram sticker which will be attached to the individual's existing media pass. The purpose of re-validation is to ensure only those media eligible to attend the final gain access.

Rushmans Accreditation and Media Services staff will be issuing revalidation holograms for the final to the media at the Wanderers Media Centre on Saturday, and from both the Wanderers Accreditation Centre and the stadium accredited entry gate on the day of the match.

This revalidation is independent of, and prior to, the issuing of press tickets - which, as usual, will be allocated from the Media Centre on match day according to the ICC priority order as outlined in the Media Guide.
