A ‘MUG’S’ GAME: Springboks ticket strategy leaves fans frustrated
Fans are reeling after additional tickets were made available for the highly anticipated first clash between the Springboks and the All Blacks, despite it being advertised as sold out.
Fans are furious after extra tickets were released for the first Springboks vs. All Blacks game, even though it was advertised as sold out. The match will take place at Ellis Park on August 22nd. The tickets, priced between R850 and R4,000, were reportedly made available on Tuesday evening, with only 1,000 to 2,000 still left for sale by Wednesday morning.
This move has once again highlighted South African Rugby Union's (Saru) ticketing strategy, which has come under scrutiny due to the high costs and limited availability of Springbok Tests, impacting stadium attendances.
