Have you actually had a look at how much ticket prices for the World Cup are? The crappy seats are R490 & for an average seat you are looking at R1400-R1800!How are the local soccer fans supposed to afford that?
All those lovely adverts encouraging locals to buy tickets & be there for the historical event are pointless. Most of the local soccer fans are in the low income tax bracket - even R490 is too much for them.
Oh yeah & in case you're confined to a wheelchair, you can get a spot at R490 too. Not that disabled people could afford that either, considering how few of them have employment & how little those that do, get paid...
So now that the stadiums are going to be filled by foreigners, those South Africans who turn to their usual option of going to a sports bar, will probably have to look elsewhere.
Apparently the Department of Trade & Industry have drafted a legislation that will require any pub, restaurant, hotel or university to purchase a R50 000 special liquor license if they want to screen World Cup matches & sell liquor at the same time.
WTF!?!?!
I'm sure this one is going to go down well...
