The fervour around South Africa’s semifinal Rugby World Cup clash with Argentina today has led to scores of Springbok fans digging deep into their pockets to be in Paris for the game.
While some had to settle for the bare basics of a ticket, flight and accommodation, the big spenders have splashed out on five-star packages that cost as much as to R200000.
Travel agencies specialising in tailor-made packages, have rolled out the red carpet and offered their clients five-star hotel suites, luxury cruises on the French Riviera, chartered private jets and the best seats at the 80000-seat Stade de France in Paris.
