Empty Seats at Loftus Stadium Spark Debate Over Rugby Ticket Prices
Pretoria, South Africa – A recent video circulating online has drawn attention to the noticeable number of empty seats at Loftus Versfeld Stadium during a recent rugby match. The footage, captured from a vantage point overlooking the stands, clearly shows large sections of seating left unoccupied, despite a game being in progress. The video's author, Kamal Rugbar, attributed the low attendance to 'high ticket prices by money-hungry SARU,' referring to the South African Rugby Union. This observation sparks discussion among fans and stakeholders regarding accessibility and affordability of live sporting events in the region. The stadium, a prominent venue for rugby in South Africa, typically draws large crowds, making the visible empty seats a point of concern for many.
