How much $ do you recommend I save up for the 2010

[Marixel]

World Cup? Im 16 right now and in 2010 I'll be 20. I want to start saving up for the South Africa Wold Cup. However I have no clue how much money I will really need. Can anybody please give me a close amount ? Thanks

$10 000 US, and you'll be more than fine. You could get away with half that maybe, but remember, everything gets more expensive during that time so better to have more reserves.

At least $10 k's

Well the ticket will cost you $200 so i reckon with hotel costs plane costs(they are expensive if it is the world cup)food costs i will say about $8000 i know it is a lot of money but you have 3 years

Heyyy I'll be 20 when I go to the WC too















I have no idea how much it'll be but I'd save about 10 thousand at least, because tickets for each game are very expensive and the hotel and air... it's all very expensive. I'm going to get a job at a big airline so I can get free flights there (hahaha I'm smart) so maybe you can try to get a job at a big airline just before?

depends really on how much your drinking,eating and also how long your staying for?ya staying for the whole world cup?would be a cool idea to wrk a few hrs over there in a pub?its sure to be expensive because it will be so busy over there with people paying riduclous amounts on nothing.good luck with whatever ya choose to do.p.s be careful over there i know a south african and he said crime rate is really over there and they will rob ya blind if your not more than careful!!!

While I admire your enthusiasm for football and the World Cup, please take the advice of one who has 'been there, done that' etc., etc........save your money and watch it on TV. Unless you are the offspring of very, very rich and indulgent parents, forget about attending the WC or any other like events (Olympics for example). They are pure and simply a complete rip-off. From the time you get your over-priced ticket, everything connected with such events are purely designed to gouge those attending. Food, transportation, accomodation, souvenirs....all are marked up as much as 300-500%, knowing full well you are a 'mark' and there for the taking. Sorry to be such a cynical 'down-in-the-mouth', but most people who have attended these over-hyped tournaments in the past 10 years, will tell you the same thing.
