Title: World Cup 2010
Post by: Bob's Orange on Thursday, July 9, 2009, 09:49:41
Anyone on here planning on going to SA next year for the World Cup? I haven't even been to an England game but I am severly tempted to make next years holiday a trip to SA.

I am hoping to try and get some of my mates to go but the cost seems to be the drawback for them. Any ideas on how much a 2 or 3 week trip with a few matches thrown in would cost? Would be good to go over with a group of fellow Town fans if possible.

You're talking a few thousand at least. There are packages out there, i think they start at about £3.5k

If its anything like Germany 2006 (and I don't see why not) you will struggle to get tickets.

You may wish to join England Fans (Plus) to give you a chance to "win" tickets in the ballot. I have been a member of England Fans for a number of years yet still did not get any tickets for Germany.

Sorry to be so negative!

it'll be much easier to get tickets, there will be far fewer fans applying for these than Germany.

Will be going if we qualify! Love South Africa, and it would be good to go back and see some friends. If you do go, ignore the scare stories. As long as you have half a brain you will be safe.

I'm in Table View, on the West Coast.

Seriously, anyone interested in coming over, give me a shout, and I'll see what I can help with.  It'll be cheaper than the rip off travel agents charging you way over the top for stuff!!
