Trip to South Africa - WC 2010

[ibleedwhite]

Anyone planning to go to South Africa in 2010?

I'm trying to put together a trip with friends for atleast a week. What is the best method for a cost effective trip from the states.

Any advice?

Stay away from Prawns and root for England.

Are you actually planning on going to the matches, or just the atmosphere of the city?

The tickets for ****** games were like $700/piece. I stopped looking after that.

i have tickets for two match games and a semi's game.

im super-excited, i have never been to africa.

as for cost savings, i bought the tickets really early on with prices for $280 for the match games and $450 for the semi. not that bad really. my plane ride is free (except luggage) through a friend whose dad works for airlines

thanks all.

i was planning on going more for the environment. if I can get tickets to a game, ofcourse that would be wonderful.

I just dont know how people are buying tickets without the full schedule being released.
