FIFA World Cup Tickets

Well less than 3 weeks. Who's buying what? Pricing complaints? Here is the pricing and how it works:

IMO it has been worked out well. High prices in general but lower ones for SA whilst avoiding the competition from becoming to open to anyone.

Category 4 ranges from R20 to R150 . Or am I missing something? That is surely too good to be true?

I see. It says they will be sold exclusively in ZAR, so I got all excited...

So that's more like R200 - R1500. Still, not bad...

 

[headsore]

not bad at all. Maybe i am alone on this....but i really don't want 50% of the stadium to be filled with vuvuzela mad Orlando Pirates fans...so I am glad to see there are still restrictions with the cheap seats and that they are not THAT cheap, hopefully keeping the WC a bit exclusive like it is usually.

What did they decide in the end about vuvuzelas? I heard that they were going to be banned at one stage...A good idea IMO.

Its part of the "African experience" I guess. Well a group of 5000 a game can't do too much damage. Its if it becomes like a Soweto derby I'll get cross.

good point...I still think many foreigners will get really ticked it they have it happening to them. the people who will pay $900 a tickets will not be pleased.

Hardcore fans will enjoy it. The more noise the better.

 

[headsore]

maybe. Will have to wait and see. So amped. Planning on the semi in CT. 100USD is steap...but what a chance to see great teams.
