‘Ere we go, World Cup bookings ‘go through the roof’

Saturday, 17 Oct, 2013 0

Thomson Sport says it has seen an increase in web traffic of 400% since England qualified for next year’s World Cup with a 2-0 victory against Poland last night.

For fans interested in travelling to Brazil next summer, the operator has already created a pre-draw ‘Official Follow England’ package including three group stage matches.

Managing director Tom Forshaw said:  "The amazing result last night means we can all be part of what promises to be a fantastic World Cup in Brazil 2014.

"When Steven Gerrard scored the second and decisive goal, we saw the website stats go through the roof and, consequently, we have seen a significant number of bookings and a huge increase in the number of fans registering interest."

Thomson Sport said over 15,000 fans had registered their interest in booking Brazil packages since the final whistle last night.
