QuoteNo, not going to be the same, but nothing we can do about that now. I'm going to Cape Town for a few games. I'm also looking for a ticket for Port Elizabeth on the Tuesday of the first week. I can swap a Cape Town ticket if anyone can help.
Not sure but i hope soon.
Still gonna go anyway have tickets for all games in Durban and mates got tickets for Spain/Argentina games...
Not gonna be the same but sure will be fun anyway...

Once the draw is made things will become a lot clearer, I'm desperately hoping we get some decent games in Cape Town. I'd love an Argentina game, even if their a bit of a train crash at the moment, Diego was like a god to me and I've had a soft spot for them since I watched the '78 final as a small boy.
3 of us still going too. I'm going for 7-10 days based in Jo'burg. Internal flights are still a ripoff so will probably not go to Durban/CT & PE.
We will most likely have spare tickets available at face value. Details after the draw.
Do you know have you anything for that game in Port Elizabeth Gary?
Endabob, I must have a beer with you in C.T.
Finbarrk, no worries, I'll be found ripping off the Brits & Frogs with every scam I can think off!
I have some travel information on a pdf file sent to me by our corporate travel agents, it's got press releases from the airlines, car, rentals & some other info, happy to email it on if anyone wants to PM me their address.
Still going as well for the first 10 days or so. Have tickets for 3 group matches in Cape Town and 1 in Durban. Would've liked to get one for Port Elizabeth as well but no such luck
Ok Guys Anyone that had TST follow your team tickets should of received your money back overnight.
But due to the weakening dollar we have lost the grand total of 17.83% to our initial payment.
10% to Fifa Admnin fee. And almost 8% to exchange movement....
No nothing for the 18th in PE. Once it isn't England I don't think tickets will be an issue. I also need a ticket(s) for Ellis Park on the 24th.Originally Posted by finbarrk
Still thinking of dropping the first 3 days as the internal flights are ridiculous. Still hoping they come down. Need to decide soon though. That would mean skipping Durban and PE. I can leave the decision to go to CT on the 21st up until close to the game and see if the flights come down.
I haven't any accommodation before the 19th either so will be paying the ripoff rates now. Have cheap accommodation from the 19th-26th.
If you're going to games in PE I would look at staying down the Garden Route for all but the night of the game as it'll be easier to find accomodation, only feasible if you've a car though.
Thanks but I'm staying in Jo'burg. Durban, CT and PE will be daytrips by plane but only if the internal flights are reasonable. The 1.30pm kickoffs make these last 2 possible but not at 4,200 ZAR per trip (almost €400).
That's crazy money. I assume you've checked with one time & mango?
Have you thought about a sleeper train from Jhb to PE?

Checked all of them. Mango haven't released flights yet but the rest have a cartel going. The B&Bs have also increased prices by 300%-1,000%. The profiteering is ridiculous. We've already had one dropout and I also know of people in Germany and Belgium missing their first world cup since the 1980's.
I was lucky to get the B&B at the regular price in June but they quadrupled their prices on July 1st.
The trains will take too long. Although I'd like to see the different cities and venues I'm not pushed about it and doing this on a low budget so might just do the week in Jo'burg.
I know Jo'burg is the least attractive of the cities but it has plenty of games within easy reach. The others don't.
