They can't have luggage and have to travel to the airport between 13:30 and 15:30. 

Due to flight delays, the time arrangement for supporters returning from OR Tambo International Airport has been extended to 21:04 though.  

At this time, the last Gautrain departs from the airport and should a supporter miss this train, alternate arrangements would have to be made to get to the station where cars iareparked in time for station closure. 

While the train fare will be free, the Gautrain bus fares will not be free, and customers are urged not to park at the Pretoria Station. 

"We ask people to go to our website and Facebook page end Twitter account to check the terms and conditions," says Jensen.
