Challenge experience catching on
Challenge experience catching on

Posted in News on Jun 11, 2011.

A week after its launch the innovative Vodacom Challenge experience competition has found favour with Amakhosi fans, with over 50 000 eager supporters entering the competition.



By sending an SMS to 30699 followed by the words Kaizer Chiefs fans will be in line to win the ultimate fan experience which will see two lucky fans spend time with Chiefs as they prepare for their Vodacom Challenge encounters against English Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur at the Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane on July 16 and their game against Orlando Pirates on July 19 in Port Elizabeth.



The campaign was launched a week ago in various print media and will be stepped up a gear on Saturday as a television commercial surrounding the campaign will be aired.



The commercial shot around a week ago features a number of Chiefs players and according to Chiefs brand manager Dara Carroll the huge number of entrants shows the eagerness of fans to get the best possible seats in the build up to Chiefs defence of the Vodacom Challenge.



As she explained saying, “we needed to get the message out to the fans that they can be part of the action when we face Spurs and Pirates, we are pleased to see that the fans are responding to the campaign by sending in their SMS’S. Hopefully once the television commercial airs more fans will be made aware of this fantastic opportunity to be part of the team.”



On another Vodacom Challenge note tickets for the tournament went on sale earlier this week and are available from Shoprite / Checkers, Checkers / Hyper Stores as well as Computicket outlets around South Africa. Tickets start at R50 for unreserved seating to R80 for reserved tickets.



Competition closes on June 30.
