5th Phase- 2010 Ticket Sales

My day started at 06h45, ready for action and determined to get tickets to the soccer world cup. I have never been so confused in my life regarding the process of ticket sales. I heard in the radio this morning that on certain FNB branches were selling tickets, then I heard all FNB branches and Checkers were selling tickets. With that out of the way Lameez and I made our way to FNB in Blue Route Mall. The queue wasn’t that bad but if it had to be any longer I would’ve turned around and gone back home.
With hope in my back pocket, Lameez and I stood in the queue from 08h00. Finally, the bank open at 09h00 and only the first 20 people were allowed in. that is when we realised that we were in the third group of 20 people- Aaah! But we preserved and I was adamant to get tickets.

One hour goes by, two hours, three hours… And the first group of 20 people were still inside the bank. Geez-Whiz, you gotta be kidding the crap out of me! Oh, and then the rumours started, system crashed, category 4 tickets have been sold out, only tickets of category 1 & 2 are available- the list was endless. We didn’t know who and what to believe anymore. Gosh FNB and FIFA seriously needed a P.R.P today!
By 11h00 more than half of the people in the queue left, including myself and Lameez- such diligent students.

The mission for 2010 tickets is not over until the fat lady sings! I am determined to get tickets come high or hell waters. I have to be part of the 2010 fever and experience Green Point Stadium at its best. Will keep you guys posted xoxo
