Cippo Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 Is the general entry on a ballot system again? From the mail I received I concluded that it's a "first come, first serve" basis.

Cippo Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 Geez, I got a reply already to say I'm successful.
Shebeen Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 Ek wil nou nie negatief wees nie, maar wat stop dieselfde mense om weer die paaie te blok? Hulle weet nou wat om te doen om reaksie/aandag te kry! Ek hoop die organiseerders het 'n alternatiewe roete- maar dan sal dit nie meer die Argus wees nie, sal dit! Ek glo mense ry die Argus omdat hulle die "regte" Argus roete wil ry, nie om ewe skielik 'n verkorte roete of 'n ompad te ry nie!If you really want the glass to be half empty, then we can't really stop you. The people protested and nothing was done - they will protest again now!The people protested and something was done - they will protest again now! BenReaper, seven, Pure Savage and 1 other 4

Karooryder Posted September 22, 2017 Posted September 22, 2017 (edited) Sorted through a preferential entry, paid and psyched …and looking at flight tickets I can see that the Ooms at that Fruit Company, the guys with the different shades of Green Boeings and the other kind folk who charge you R150 to transport an extra pair of undies definitely know how to rig their price algorithms. Having shopped around a fair bit in the past week, I could not help but notice the spectacular increase of flight prices – curiously only on the Gauties – Maddacity route – on the day the general entries opened. 150% is not exaggerating …but hey, all in good spirit and the relatively little known Airlink flight from Wonderboom down to the fair Cape proved to spin dust in the eyes of the high-cost-low-cost okes.Jokes aside… I’m amazed at how some apparently and implicitly assume that the CTCT management are not deeply involved in addressing the social unrest issue that arose this year. As if they have given up and will rely on the mood of the protesters on the day to hopefully allow for the event to possibly take place…Neeman. I have no doubt in my mind that every measure is being taken and every party consulted in order to not only avoid a repeat of this year, but also to meaningfully address issues that resulted in protests in 2017 (also as part of the CTCT social responsibility strategy). I know its Friday and all, but let’s spread a bit of positivity and good CTCT vibes rather than hypothesize a highly hypothetical scenario, depriving ourselves of that super exiting anticipation of the coolest ride in the world…(boy that’s a whopper of a sentence ).

Big Phil Posted September 22, 2017 Posted September 22, 2017 Got my mango flight at R2500 return on 31 Aug. whats the prices like now?
Breezer Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 Look like entries are not flying as fast as previous years. I just got a mail saying that they have extended entries till the 3rd of October.
CASSIE1975 Posted September 27, 2017 Posted September 27, 2017 Look like entries are not flying as fast as previous years. I just got a mail saying that they have extended entries till the 3rd of October. Yes I think some guys and gals are not so "eager beaver" to enter for 2018.Also had friends on the line yesterday that did NOT enter again, but after receiving their mail for the extension to 03 October they are thinking about entering again LOL If I can remember correctly a few years ago we all sat and waited for the entries to open and it was sold out in a matter of hours...? The good old days... Wannabe and Veebee 2
kosmonooit Posted September 27, 2017 Posted September 27, 2017 (edited) I'm taking my chances after an absence of a few years - also because the UCI XCO in Stellies the day before - can't miss that! Still need to book flights - was thinking of cashing in Voyager miles but with SAA cancelling / cutting back flights, that could leave me in the pooh, like last time I booked with 1Time who went tits up and I lost out on the tickets.
