Busy watching the Netherlands vs. Denmark game and there are so many empty seats!

What's up with that? I've never seen this in another World Cup? Or has this always been the case?

I thought all the games were sold out??

Very embarrassing!

:erm:
 
It has nothing to do with SA public, and everything to do with the massive fail that is FIFA ticketing.
 
The game is supposedly sold out but there's a transport problem because of the FAIL match scheduling.
Not all games are sold out... but Gauteng games are sold out.

And why don't you post in one of the other 10 threads about the same issue instead of starting your own thread?

My TV is faulty as I am not seeing all these empty seats. Where should I be looking?

And why are you so embarrassed? Ha ha

Sarcasm again. This is all you do. You add no value to this forum and I don't even know why you bother. Why when I see you have commented do I know what to expect already ? I mean why the hell do I get the idea you would be happy if the stadiums were empty ? Are you really such a joyless soul ?

I mean what the heck does Julius Malema have to do with the world cup ? Are you trying to be funny or annoying ? Because if you're trying to be funny it's not working. If you're trying to pee on peoples parades by always being so awfully miserable and snarky then you're nothing but a troll right ?

I mean you don't actually talk about issues or about anything in general. You just pick up on something negative and then in a sacrastic way parrot out some kind idea that anyone in South Africa think the country is a Utopia without problems. Sheesh ! We get that South Africa has problems ! And we don't need Mila to tell is that 50 times a hour. What exactly are you trying to achieve ? Who are these people saying idiotic things like stadiums have invisible people and that everyone is a agent ? It's like you're having this crazy little war inside your head between mila and these people who somehow think South Africa is a utopia and we all have to listen to it. Get a fresh spiel Mila. This one is helluva stale.

And you seem to like moaning at people, I've noticed. :erm:
 
Normal

Been to the last 4 world cups. This is normal. People buys tickets, then don't bother to come, or cannot come. This is not unique to SA. The biggest culprits are the hospitality seats, VIP seats etc. look at the expensive seats and you will see what I mean. In some cases, people try to tout their tickets and can't sell them.

No I only find joy when the tin foil man ends up with egg on his face since he is always throwing it in my direction and it always fly's past me and hit him straight in the face.

IF you did know my posts you would know that I want this to succeed. If this is a screw up I pay more taxes. But when I asked questions like this before the start I was told I was a racist.
I'm still saying that the recession is the biggest contributor. But when I said this the Tin foil man rode up and told me to shut my racist mouth. Hence the sarcasm.

This will more than likely be the most popular reason for empty seats in SA. Traffic may be a problem too but isn't it at every World Cup?
