I passed by a bank in Cape Town late this morning. Folks had been lining up for their last crack at tickets since dawn. But apparently the system at this particular branch was misbehaving, and some folks, though patient, remained ticketless, and were not amused.
It's impossible to know the scope of South Africa's ticket distribution problems today. This was seemingly an opportunity for folks to pick up a few random tickets for the odd game here and there. The ill ticketing of this tournament has been well documented. It's most unfortunate said disconnects in the system remain.
I don't know why at this stage it wasn't possible to print "x" number of tickets for "y" games in advance and just flog 'em old school style from the local football stadiums such as in Cape Town, Greenpoint, Phillipi, Athlone, et cetera.
