- 0:55Speaker 2: And I remember we were like, hey, it's the same
- 0:57Speaker 2: amount of seats. So everybody was on a bus. And
- 1:02Speaker 2: when it came to the final game Spain v. The Netherlands,
- 1:06Speaker 2: everybody was trying to hustle tickets because it was sold
- 1:10Speaker 2: out before the event even started.
- 1:12Speaker 1: But now there's the tickets that are.
- 1:15Speaker 2: On the street right, Okay, just as a point of notire,
- 1:21Speaker 2: the cheapest ticket that you could buy for the twenty
- 1:23Speaker 2: ten feet for World Cup Final in South Africa Standard Stadium, Prissing,
- 1:28Speaker 2: the cheapest ticket was take a guest, let me let
- 1:31Speaker 2: me first do it this way. Sixteen years later, in
- 1:34Speaker 2: the USA, the cheapest ticket you can buy through the
- 1:38Speaker 2: normal FIFA prossing structure. The aftermarket tickets are way, way,
- 1:43Speaker 2: way higher. But the cheapest ticket that you can buy
- 1:46Speaker 2: is ninety eight thousand rand. That's in the nosebleeds, that's
- 1:50Speaker 2: with your back against the wall of the stadium, right
- 1:52Speaker 2: up top. Ninety eight thousand rane is the cheapest ticket
- 1:55Speaker 2: you can buy. Then it tears down to you know,
- 1:59Speaker 2: send a pitch main stand to one hundred and eighty
- 2:02Speaker 2: six thousand rand one ticket to go see the final
- 2:08Speaker 2: this year?
- 2:09Speaker 1: What an expensive exercise when it's expensive in dollars. No,
- 2:13Speaker 1: you know that we stand no chance.
- 2:14Speaker 2: So if ninety eight thousand rane is the cheapest ticket
- 2:17Speaker 2: to get into the final, now what do you think
- 2:18Speaker 2: it was the cheapest ticket in South Africa ten years ago,
- 2:21Speaker 2: sixteen years ten years ago?
- 2:23Speaker 1: I know it wasn't it wasn't too bad? Hey, No,
- 2:27Speaker 1: I would say probably like a thousand rand.
- 2:29Speaker 2: Or one thousand rain. You bang on the money there
- 2:31Speaker 2: twelve nine years the most Yeah, the two thousand rand
- 2:34Speaker 2: was them and we saw that as expensive.
- 2:37Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that was like, whoa, you guys are robbing us.
- 2:40Speaker 3: I remember as a student then it was it was
- 2:42Speaker 3: a lot, but it would still doable.
- 2:44Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, now the most expensive seat main stand,
- 2:49Speaker 2: center of the pitch. How much do you think that was?
- 2:53Speaker 2: Considering now that ticket in america'se hundred and eighty six
- 2:56Speaker 2: thousand rans for the final.
- 2:59Speaker 1: Times time was ten six three hundred ran. Was that
- 3:04Speaker 1: the most expense?
- 3:05Speaker 2: That was the most expensive ticket six thousand, three hundred rand.
- 3:09Speaker 1: Okay, suddenly that sounds so doable. Why was I not there?
- 3:13Speaker 1: It does now?
- 3:13Speaker 2: But sixteen years ago we did think it was expensive, right,
- 3:17Speaker 2: So that is why there was such a big market
- 3:20Speaker 2: for reselling tickets. And remember this is before digital tickets.
- 3:25Speaker 2: This year had to go with a hard copy of
- 3:27Speaker 2: a ticket. And remember there was a thing where where
- 3:29Speaker 2: people would photocopy tickets. I mean it was we honestly thought,
- 3:34Speaker 2: you know, ninety four to seven ninety seven hundred tickets,
- 3:39Speaker 2: there's going to be like two hundred thousand tickets out
- 3:42Speaker 2: there trying to get into the stadium. So there were
- 3:45Speaker 2: people selling tickets everywhere. They were selling tickets on country
- 3:51Speaker 2: at that time. They were selling them everywhere. Did you
- 3:54Speaker 2: know somebody? Did you know somebody? So this guy thought
