Coldplay in Cape Town: transport & event details

By 6000 | 6000 | October 3, 2011

This sort of information is always done to death on the local interwebs, but even after numerous big events there still remains a subsection of the stadium-visiting public who reckon they should be able to drive up to the stadium gates, park by the turnstiles and simply pop in – and then get pissed off and [...]
