    Just wondering if people could post the following:

    What match/stadium?
    What general area were your seats in? How was the view?
    What category tickets they were?
    What phase did you buy them?

    We have had mainly Cat 4 seats bought during different phases. The ones we have used have been for Cape Town and Port Elizabeth.

    As a smaller stadium, Port Elizabeth does not have a nose bleed section as Cape Town does. That said, I will be sitting in section 6XX for the England game there on Wednesday and hope the view is tolerable.

    I'd say 50% of the Phase 1 bought Cat 4 tickets were okay, the rest so-so. However, for our first match France-Uruguay, our seats were front row of the second tier behind the goal and were nothing short of awesome.

    Once we got to the last phase where we could pick the block, I have tried where possible to upgrade our Cat 4 tickets and give away the less attractive seats.

    We have bought, as well, 4 primo Cat 1 tickets in the latest phase and may do so again for the knock out rounds once the match ups are confirmed. Otherwise, it's too much money at risk and it's just so difficult at this WC to wheel and deal tickets, especially as I am in the Cape.

    Out of 3 matches attended so far, there was only 1 where a foreign fan contingent received really good seats (and the other fan contingent had much worse!), otherwise they tend to be stuck towards the corners in the lower tier.
