Expat Sport stays ahead of the game \u2013 Press Release
The fact that the British and Irish Lions rugby team only tour Australia once every 12 years, has left Dubai-based sports travel package specialists Expat Sport inundated with demand.<\/p>\n
Only three Tests will be played between the Qantas Wallabies and the \u2018Lions\u2019, as they are affectionately known throughout the rugby world, in a tour schedule that starts with the first warm up game Down Under, on 5th of June and ends with the 3rd Test on 6th of July 2013.<\/p>\n
Alan Holt, managing director of Expat Holidays, said the clamour for tickets for the \u2018Lions\u2019 tour \u201cwas simply phenomenal, with rugby fans laying siege to Expat Sports Dubai offices as it suddenly dawns on them that they just can\u2019t buy tickets in Australia on arrival, because there are none to be had!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe reason for that\u201d, he went on to say, \u201cis that public tickets went on sale this morning in Oz and within 15 minutes, the \u2018Sold Out\u2019 notices were being put up on every available surface in the vicinity of the ticketing outlets, just to stem the tide of would be spectators who had already lost out!\u201d<\/p>\n
However, all is not as bad as it seems, as they say, for Expat Sports duly cognisant of the inherent value of the Boy Scout\u2019s motto, \u2018have been prepared\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cFortunately we still hold a limited ticket inventory, including Platinum category seating, as part of travel packages for all three Test matches\u201d, said Holt. \u201cBut beware, for \u2018procrastination is the thief of time\u2019 and they are selling out fast!\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
As rugby devotees pack down outside the Expat Sports nerve centre, instant converts to the doctrine that the only way is bundled; the firm is still offering official packages for all three tests in Australia, as well as the warm up game.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll Expat Sport travel packages include official tickets, accommodation, pre match function, and a commemorative jersey and prices start from just AED 3,840 per person. Call our office today on 04 435 6612 or visit our website www.expatsport.com. But look sharp as these sumptuous packages cannot last!\u201d Allan Holt concludes.<\/p>\n
Given the level of demand, prefixing the MD\u2019s finale with that alluring phrase beloved of Barnum & Bailey, \u201cRoll up, Roll up\u201d, would seem somewhat superfluous. However, the Qantas Wallabies v the British and Irish Lions certainly promises to be, in a rugby context at least, \u2018The Greatest Show on Earth\u2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
