Title We saw three matches in Johannesburg spread
About me  because I was worried they would sell out and I was more interested in location than teams. I wound up adding a game closer to the event (in the Spring, during the final sales phase) because my draw didn't produce a USA game but, luckily, the USA had a game in Johannesburg that fit our travel schedule. The ticketing website will have you believe that everything is very strict and regulated, and that if you don't play by Fifa's rules (e.g. buy everything in advance through the Fifa website and official ticketing phases) you cannot get into a game. As is true with most 'rules' in life, this turned out to be a complete bluff. As soon as we exited the plane in South Africa there were people re-selling tickets. Had I known better, I could have arrived empty-handed and seen any game I wanted at a cheaper price than what I wound up paying on the web (Natives were sold tickets at a steep discount, which they re-sold to tourists).We broke up our trip into half soccer and half tourism (keeping track of games we didn't attend on TV, of course). We saw three matches in Johannesburg spread out over a week before heading to Cape Town, where we spent another week.We stayed in hostels, none of which we booked before hand. Another Internet lie will fifa 16 coins be that all accommodations will be booked when you arrive so, unless you book up front, prepare to sleep in the streets. As a result of this false scarcity, prices quoted on the Internet will be very high. Being an experienced traveler, I knew this was most likely BS so, instead, we just found accommodations as we went (you have to be with the right kind of people to pull this off. we're an adventurous bunch). This made sleeping relatively inexpensive, and we didn't run into any problems. It also gave us tremendous freedom as we never had a hotel booking dictating our travel.In scheduling the trip, I made sure we had enough time to really enjoy ourselves and get a little crazy (mountain climbing, bungee jumps, steel cage diving with great whites, helicopter rides, wine vineyards, African safaris, all night parties, strange recurring run-ins with Sal Masakala, etc etc). This way it wasn't all about soccer. Instead, the games we saw were a nice treat, and soccer painted a fun and consistent backdrop for the trip, making it very easy to bond with locals and other travelers. Rather than simply a vacation or a series of soccer matches, it was a shared life experience that myself and two of my closest friends will never forget.
