The organisers of the match have announced that more than 11 million votes have been cast to date, including those for Benni McCarthy, Jimmy Tau, Morgan Gould and Jimmy Jambo, who won't be featuring in this event.
McCarthy has retired from professional soccer to pursue a coaching career, while Tau's contract with Chiefs was not renewed. Gould and Jambo are still out of action because of injuries.
Stadium Management South Africa chairman Jacques Grobbelaar said they expected a full house.
"It's just a matter of days before we make an announcement on this because the ticket sales are going very well."
Pirates have won the Carling Black Label Cup since its inception three seasons ago.
