Vuvuzela South Africa

Bafana Bafana vs the Black Stars of Ghana on 11 August at Soccer City should be a great match – or will it be a slaughter? Well all the supporters want to know is what Safa is doing with the tickets prices…

It was first announced on the SAFA website at the bottom of the page,  Coach Mosimane’s Vision 2014

According to the Safa Website : South Africa hosts Ghana at Soccer City on Wednesday the 11 th of August 2010. Kickoff is at 20h35 and tickets for the match go on sale on Friday 23 July at Computicket and Shoprite Checkers stores. Tickets cost R50.00 all round.

Then now I saw on the that : There has been a whole misunderstanding, tickets will go on sale a week before the match….we were still trying to validate what the problem was.

This is all from my previous story on Vuvuzela South Africa.

And now I see from two sources, Senego and Africa: News Culture Sport (not from Safa) that the tickets are on sale already, for R100 each!

Bafana Bafana vs Black Stars Tickets Available at Computicket

“The tickets became available yesterday (Friday) at Computicket and according to SAFA communications director Morio Senyane, tickets are selling at R100 each.

Speaking in a media briefing in Johannesburg on Friday, Senyane urged soccer lovers to rush to buy tickets as early as possible and keep the spirit of the recent World Cup going.

“After an hour we had already sold about 250 tickets and only urge the media to help in terms of promoting the match between Bafana Bafana and Ghana at the Soccer City on August 11.”

No Website for Bafana?

Well how on earth is the media going to help promote the game and the tickets if SAFA doesn’t put a media release on their website or keep us informed?

And while we are talking about it – why doesn’t the South African National Football Team have a website? There is so much money in soccer, surely part of Bafana Bafana’s campaign must be a marketing and publicity one?

The supporters want to know, demand to know – why is there a discrepancy between the ticket prices? To pay 100 % more for a Bafana Bafana Black Stars ticket is a lot of money.

See you at Soccer City on 11 August.
