Cape Town South Africa Ticket Sales

It was amazing. I wanted to go to see Robben Island, the notorious place where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for 26 years. Unfortunately, all the available tours were booked for over two weeks. I had been told this by others that were staying at the same hostel that I was staying in even before I went to see if I could get a ticket. But, I had to try. When I approached the ticket counter, I saw no one in line line but did see four persons behind the counter doing anything but selling tickets. I could tell they were really bored. The whole thing struck me as ridiculously funny. Why were there four people selling tickets for a tour that was sold-out for two weeks? I guess people need jobs. So I walked up to the counter and no one paid any attention to me for the longest time. I guess they were so used to having nothing to do that they don’t know what a potential customer looks like.
