So whose going? Im finding it a lot easier to get tickets in this phase. Applied on Friday (online) and got notification of success today. Phase 3 was a different story, but I was successful there none-the-less. Well partially cos I was downgraded. But anyway, I cant wait.

DSTV...tyvm.
As much as I'd love to go, the prospect of having my head blown off by some fanatic vuvuzela carrier sitting behind me, or in my general vicinity - is just too discouraging.

It irritates me enough watching international football on TV and hearing those vuvuzelas going all match. I think I might be tempted toward some actual violence if I was in the stadium.

Did you even watch any of the Confederations Cup? Can you imagine what it would be like sitting in the stadium? It gives me a headache just thinking of it.

I don't watch gemors...I'd rather watch UEFA cup or premier league

im sure you mean the Champions league cos what was the UEFA cup is now the Europa league

Just like that

I'll be going to the Denmark vs Netherlands Game

Earplugs for vuvuzela noise

Confed Cup noise wasnt that bad. Didnt even bother me. There are still some tickets available.

Will you be wearing orange? Perhaps you can get Neotel to sponsor you.

Are you insane?

How's the tickets sales doing??
Does any1 know?

We have had a team build exercise at the office, soccer themed where these vuvu's were handed out.
I left early. The headache came with me.

At the recent S14 game Lions vs Stormers some poor non-thinking guy was merily blowing away (for the 10th+ time even with people complaining around him) when his "instrument" was accosted and flung over the railing.
We all cheered

I can't believe there is so much apathy and animosity towards this event.

Its the world cup people, and its in your country, and you complain because of some trumpets...it just does NOT compute...

To be perfectly fair, they're highly irritating trumpets.

and you complain because of some trumpets

those trumpets are capable of causing permanent hearing damage - so subjecting yourself to the noise they make is even more foolhardy than ignoring that noise

as for wearing earplugs - its uncomfortable to my ears - i will probably give it a miss to go and watch live if im forced to wear earplugs

2 Be just planing straight FWD, blowing those trumpets and making unnecessary noise - it's just plain Barbaric

"barbaric".... quite a strong term

be that as it may, there may be matches where there may not be vuvuzelas...

I tried fixing this, but I just gave up. I have no clue what he's trying to say.

Agreed. It certainly is unpalatable to my ears, however.

On topic again...

Seems ticket sales are going very well according to news24.

Well, each to his own.. But I can't wait for the World Cup!

Got tickets for 4 matches: France vs Uruguay, Italy vs Paraguay, Netherlands vs Camaroon and the Last16 match all at Green Point.
I am really excited!

As for the tickets, theres only 1 game available in JHB. To view the available games, go to http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/organisati ... index.html and click Start Your Application. R140 to see the World Cup...I mean come on.

As for the the vuvuzela's, its part of the atmosphere. I dont mind it, but ima buy ear plugs just in case. Soccer City may be crazy.
