Daftar Hotel - Bafana Bafana coach Carlos Alberto Parreira has urged South Africans to remain enthusiastic about the 2010 Fifa Soccer World Cup despite problems with the ticketing system on Thursday. Many frustrated and angry soccer fans left long queues on Thursday night when they were unable to get their tickets because Match’s ticketing system crashed on a number of occasions during the day. But authorities have promised to do all they can to prevent further problems on Friday.
Hotel di Jakarta - Parreira said South Africans need to be enthusiastic about the event and support the national team. He said the team was focusing on its performance. “[The] World Cup is always competition but I am sure our team will not disappoint the people,” said Parreira from Germany where Bafana Bafana is based for its second training camp in recent weeks. Earlier this month the national team held a camp in Brazil.
WORLD CUP TICKETING OFFICE AT BRROKLYN MALL
The ticketing offices only open at 9am but scores of fans were pushing and shoving each other as they waited in queues on Friday morning.
Those supporters who were not helped by the time the centres closed on Thursday night were given numbers to ensure they got first preference when the offices opened.
The organisation at the Brooklyn Mall centre was far better than Thursday and scores of police officers were on hand to prevent a repeat of the chaos.
Tactical response officials had to use pepper spray twice on Thursday to control crowds who pushed against the doors of the ticketing office.
SOCCER FANS RETURN TO SANDTON
On Friday morning, Johannesburg soccer fans returned to Laico Isle in Sandton, where up to 2000 people queued for over 24 hours to get their tickets.
Many of them were people who did not manage to get into the centre on Thursday to buy their tickets.
More security guards were on standby to prevent the chaos that broke out at the door on Thursday soon after the centre opened.
Meanwhile, all tickets for Cape Town matches have been sold out.
