what a joke.
I queued at Cape Town ticket centre at the Spearhead building since 6 this morning, only to give up at 3:30pm as it was going nowhere. The whole experience was just a plain nightmare.
I started queueing as an elderly man was having a heart attack. Help came hours later after his body was covered up and taken away. I had a number (450) written on my hand by a CCID city security guard with a Black Yoken pen. Apparently that was my passport to enter the ticketing office. Half the people there were writing numbers on their hand with their own marker-pens. After hours of waiting they eventually let people in but the whole thing crashed. We continued to wait.
By 11:30 some people started walking out with tickets.... by 3:30 when I left, people were still inside with 'ticket' number 120 not even out yet. Many people had left because of the absolute mess up.
There communication with the people outside was pathetic as well. We never knew what games were available at any stage until 3:30 pm they told us only category 1 tickets were available.
i am now trying to buy tickets online and it is not working. This is the reason why tickets were sold in applications previously. because they knew they could never run a massive over the counter system. PATHETIC!!!! 8hrs of waiting for nothing
