Cape Town - Some confusion has arisen among revellers at the Cape Town Fan Fest over the cost of beer, although organisers say it is a miscommunication.
It was reported that fans on Thursday night raised complaints about the apparent cost of R27 per 500ml beer at the FIFA Fan fest venues.
Organisers have responded, saying that the initial cost of R27 included the purchase of a commemorative cup which was not disposable, and that subsequent refills would only cost R18.
Organisers said in an earlier media release that a number of environment-friendlier initiatives would be adopted, including “the serving of beer and soft drinks in a commemorative cup from draught and soda fountains, as opposed to bottles and cans”.
Other measures included:
• A two-bin waste separation and recycling system
• The sale of reusable souvenir cups instead of single-use disposable cups
• The use of reusable crockery and cutlery as opposed to disposable cutlery and tableware
• The use of reusable plastic crates instead of single use cardboard boxes
• The prohibition of promotional handouts and flyers at entrances to the Fan Fest
• The use of large dispensers for condiments and sugar instead of single sachet-servings
