I hate to go on about this and it's something that is not being spoken about anywhere else. We keep hearing from Danny and the boys in charge, that the tickets to watch the World Cup soccer in 2010 in South Africa will be affordable. I think not!
While browsing this site this morning, one of my Google Ads was for The Online Ticket shop and they are selling ticket to the Rugby World Cup next year, a full 3 years ahead of our little world cup in 2010. While I was browsing thier site, I went to the prices for the final of the Rugby World Cup in Paris, on 20 October 2007. (That's my birthday by the way). How much is a ticket to the Rugby World Cup final? Between 750 and 950 POUNDS!!!! UK Pounds.
Let me convert that for you. That's between R10 390 and R13 160. At today's prices!!!!
When the average in come of a black South African is R44 000 a year, how does anyone expect any South African to watch the football? One quater of thier income for the year will be spent on one 90 minute match, with maybe some exta time and penalties if we are lucky. Throw in transport costs and staying near the venue if that person is from another city, then how much will it cost to watch the Football World Cup?
Please do not use the Online Ticket Shop. It has been conning people out of money for a long time unfortunately. You can check them out when you Google Online Ticket shop and read how they continue to cheat people. I just experienced this by buying tickets for the Robbie Williams Concert from them and was conned! Please be warned!
