Saru warns fans over fake Springbok Test ticket sales

Hospitality operators claim ticket allocation was unfair A source from one of the complaining companies, who asked not to be named fearing reprisal, said local and international tour operators, corporate clients and ors from around the world are demanding answers over what they described as rampant commercial greed and unfair market monopolisation by Saru.

In the international market, one guy told me he was offered around R20 000, excluding VAT, for a private suite ticket from a local agent.“There are growing calls for the Competition Commission to step in and investigate these restrictive commercial practices to ensure the South African sporting marketplace remains fair, accessible and transparent for both local businesses and international guests in future fixtures.”
