England fans will have to spend more than expected to attend the World Cup games

The English football fans were in for a shock these past weeks when checking game tickets for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa next year. As prices stand now, the tickets are very expensive and hard to find with a one in five chance of getting the flight and game ticket they want. So it seems that many will be watching the games in England this time round, which is probably not the worst of options.

British Airways flights are peaking at almost £3,000 for a first-class seat and with economy seats being almost impossible to find. Initially the airline, South African Airways had offers going for £500 return but this have now escalated to £1,500.

For those lucky enough to have the tickets in hand, there are still the extra expenses such as hotel costs and renting out cars, set to cost an outrageous £110 per day.
