I believe that this was prep'd by Harvey World Travel - at least that's what the email said :)

1) Schools will be closed for about over 4 weeks during the World Cup. You need to have plans in place for your children.
2) Air tickets to Cape Town (for example) will cost about R8,000 per seat as some flights have to leave same night after the games due to accommodation
     problems in PLZ/CPT/DBN/BLOEM. So the flights will operate 24 hours. Expect NOISE. Expect TRAFFIC around airports all hours.
3) Fresh veggies and fruit will be scarce, if not unavailable, during this time. For the World Cup in Germany, they had to import them.
4) Traffic will increase by about 30% at the times of the games as fans go to the grounds or FANPARKS (games start at 13.30, 16.00 and 20.30) and
   matches are announced on December 4th. This is obviously the best time to fly - whilst matches are on!
5) Road areas around stadiums will be closed off.
6) It is expected that 550,000 people will be travelling to/from matches and 100,000 per match day... Expect considerable delays on match days.
7) There will not be parking available at airports - so arrange drop offs.
8) 4,800 buses will be operational and there will be restrictions on truckers/hauliers, etc. Plan container and cargo deliveries very carefully and add in extra lead
   time if necessary.
9) "Fan Parks" will be a huge attraction (see the list of Fan Parks) and traffic to/from those areas will be extremely congested.
     At one Fan Park in Germany 500,000 people pitched up consuming, during the events, 3 million sausages, 1 million litres of beer, etc. Think of the logistics
   and TOILETS...!
10)    Importers and exporters must be aware that deliveries may be severely disrupted, as will same-day deliveries for transport and airfreights due to flight arrivals, airport delays and traffic congestion.
