Sport Club

Passion World Cup in South Africa (South Africa) has decreased as the day-to-4. Cities seemed quiet, not too many supporters or major festivities in the streets toward the stadium. Occurs only when the festive opening.

On the Dutch and Danish match at Soccer City Stadium, there are not too many supporters who came. In fact, in the parking lot at the Apartheid Museum, still plenty of room left. In fact, this can be said as a big game. Supporters from abroad have not seen a lot.

Spectators who came mostly are local residents. Actually, most of them were wearing South Africa T-shirts. So, no wonder now emerging issues that the spectators without tickets will likely be released into the second half. This is especially true for games that sell fewer tickets.

The issue was already circulating among journalists. However, apart from that, it seems not as busy festive World Cup before. In every FIFA Fan Fest, the show is also too simple. Usually only together with the wide screen to watch and be entertained quiz or a local band that was not too interesting.

Apparently, the lack of soccer game spectator is concerned because the chair could reach one-third empty. When South Korean opponent play Greece, at the stadium looks much empty space. In addition, not all tickets are sold; there are 8000 ticket holders who did not come.

That was revealed by FIFA and conveyed to the public. So, FIFA will conduct an investigation.

The most possible cause is due to problems in distribution systems or due to substandard transportation. As a result FIFA insists that they will abide the cost of transporting the audience from the parking lot toward the stadium.

In addition, FIFA is also thought to lower ticket prices for games that have not sold out.

For example is the match of Greek against South Korea on Tuesday; only 31 513 spectators who attended, when the stadium in Port Elizabeth should accommodate 42 486 spectators. (more…)
