| Football World Cup Threatened - Tickets Too Expensive - Concerns About Safety |
|
"Not only do people doubt going there because of security concerns. Also the tickets are way too expensive. As a normal human being: Who can afford 5000 euros or 6000 euros for a week?" Said Beckenbauer in the show "Sky90". For the three World Cup qualifying matches of the German team against Australia, Ghana and Serbia 6700 of the 21,000 available tickets have been sold so far and internationally there are 25,000 tickets sold to German fans. However, even in South Africa there’s no run on the tickets.Now, in Africa there are even more tickets sold for games in England then for their own World Cup. CEO of the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa Danny Jordaan has already held talks with the FIFA to enable to sell the tickets in Africa in other ways than through the Internet or through the banks which is the normal way and how it was done in Africa. Jordaan wants the World Cup tickets now spread to several shops, so that South Africans have an easier access to the tickets "There is no 100-percent guarantee in any country" "Those responsible will do everything to ensure safety. They are more or less preparing themselves for an attack. More can not be done. But: There are still a lot of lunatics in the world, so you can not be sure. There’s no 100-percent guarantee in any country," Beckenbauer said. Related Articles: About EU Ticket News EUTicket News Contributors
