Springbok fans who bought full-priced tickets WON’T be compensated
· The South African
Springbok supporters who paid full price for tickets to watch South Africa play England at Ellis Park this weekend will not be compensated for the discounted prices.
Over the past few days, the prices have been slashed, seemingly due to the public backlash over poor ticket sales.

SA Rugby has denied reports that its ticket prices affected stadium attendance.
SPRINGBOK FANS WONT BE COMPENSATED OVER DISCOUNTED TICKETS
While many rugby fans are cashing in on discounted tickets to watch the Springboks at Ellis Park, others who paid full price are less than impressed.
Some have even demanded compensation due to the dramatic drop in prices.
To @Springboks, with ticket prices at Ellis Park now significantly reduced, will you refund the patrons who paid full price? And will SA Rugby learn its lesson regarding Springbok ticket prices i.e. not pricing out the majority of fans?

They won’t give a refund, won’t switch seats, won’t give credit, won’t do anything. Essentially… too bad for you, they said”.
Another, @RudiIsaacs posted: “Bought mine for R950. @Springboks @TicketmasterZA. Can I get a refund?” A third, @ruhan_myburgh requested credit for the price difference.

Prices are set and adjusted by the event organizer. Once purchased, tickets cannot be refunded, partially refunded, credited, or price-adjusted if later sold at a lower price.
While this may not be the outcome you hoped for, the organizer hopes you will still enjoy…

SA RUGBY SHUTS DOWN ‘UNFOUNDED’ RUMOURS
Meanwhile, SA Rugby has responded to “erroneous” and “unfounded” reporting about poor Springbok match ticket sales at Ellis Park.
The first test match between South Africa and England takes place on Saturday, 4 July.
The iconic stadium, located in Doornfontein, has a 65 000-seater capacity.
In a statement, it shared: “Predictions that the attendance would be little more than 21 000 were entirely erroneous and misinformed.
“SA Rugby hopes to get close to the historic average against England in SA of 91% of the stadiums’ capacity in a market in which tickets are on sale for four Test matches and two provincial matches against the touring All Blacks.
“Assertions of lack of interest are unfounded and not supported by the actual sales data.”
