What you have to know if you are attending the Cape Town Sevens this weekend.
Is it really sold out?
Yes, all tickets for the event sold out in record time.
Where can I park?
The best place to park would be in the CBD (south of Buitengracht Street), which is (free after 13:00 on Saturday and all day Sunday).
Off-street parking is available at numerous parking garages in the CBD, such as at the CTICC, Ryk Tulbagh Square, Fountain Hotel, Picbel Parkade, Mandela Rhodes and Plein Park.

– Or use the Fan Walk from Waterkant, over the bridge to Somerset Rd and the Stadium.
– On Sunday, between 10:30 and 14:00 in front of the Salesian Institute on Somerset Road along the Fan Walk, there will be a pop-up Street Store (www.thestreetstore.org), where members of the public can donate clothes for the homeless to enjoy a dignified ‘shopping” experience for free. This is part of World Street Store Day, a South African initiative.
