Official 2010 Fever Tour to SAfrica

 

I'm looking at the Ghana V Germany game, plus the round of 16 match in Durban on the 28th (1E - 2F, so in theory that will be Netherlands v NZ) and the two Quarter Finals in Johannesburg.  They are games 58 and 60, potentially Spain and England v others...

 

I'm keen for sun city, but not safari - i'm doing a tour to Nairobi after the WC which will cover it (and eat the rest of my money).

 

Suggestion - new thread for tickets to non-AW games?  I figure if you have extras other people on the tour will snap them up, i don't fancy getting single tickets, better to go for a couple and find someone else keen.

 

Will give the safari a miss - the wildest animals in Kruger National Park will be the Yellow Fever tour members, and there'll be plenty of other opportunities to observe them in their natural habitat, i.e. close to a source of alcohol.

 

Have applied for Cat 1 tiickets for Ghana v. Australia (19th June, Rustenburg), Australia v. Serbia (Nelspruit, 23rd June) and Portugal v. Brazil (Durban, 25th June).

 

I'm keen for the 2 games suggested, I have met Wayne today and he said transfers for the $710 will be included, which helps, at this stage I reluctantly stick with the 2 week tour rather than extending it, as for the application just give it a go, and see how it goes, apparently tickets are not transferrable, you must be the person who bought it, otherwise they won't allo entry, well that's if they check everyone, it's still a variable

 

I'm keen for Safari, it's one of those things you'll say to yourself when you're older and it's good for the travelling CV :)

 

 

 

You have to pick them up with ID and the credit card with which they were purchased.  Once you have them I imagine you'll be fine.  Although you are meant to put in a Guest name - might be worth trying to coordinate some purchases so that we've got 'guest names' for everyone who is keen to go.  Makes it difficult for buying tickets now in teh hope that you can bring someone with you when you get to S.A...  (this is probably a discussion for the non-AWs ticket thread though).

 

yes I'm keen for the guest name idea as I'm sure few of us would be keen to check out some non-NZ games

 

thanks and keep in touch, I've emailed Wayne and Terry, but Wayne is on leave so hopefully Terry can explain to me a bit clearer.

 

I'm not applying for the NZ games (the TST-3) myself - I'll leave it with the good folk at Classic Travel.  I'm sure they'll be able to get them - the tour would be a bit angsty otherwise  - and it means, hopefully, there'll be a single block of us together to get some noise going!

 

A bit of reassurance that we'll get tickets wouldn't go amiss though, but I assume they're going through the NZ PMA allocation, which isn't likely to exceed the 12% allocated.

 

The NZF email did have a couple of hundred email addresses though, which is a good sign (although BCC is the convention these days...)

 

My strategy is as per Addicks. Classic will procure for us. if somehow it went pear-shaped (which i highly doubt) then we can picket NZF until they solve our problem for us. Much better to be seated in a group.

yeah all good.

We should get concensus on what game people would prefer to apply for themselves (so we can decide where the bus will go) on the 19th and 23rd (couple of options)

 

see Marius' thread on bus transfers and other matches

 

hopefully we'll get to a conclusion and everyone should have their application  made by deadline next week

 

the only clash would be argentina v korea which will be on 17th

 

grrr

 

double grrrr

But got Netherlands v Denmark, Spain v Honduras, Greece v Argentina, and Ghana v Germany.
