The Uruguayan team beat Israel this Thursday and will play the final of the Under 20 World Cup this Sunday. they are running out tickets available to travel to Buenos Aires. Beyond the fact that the AUF reported that there are no more tickets to watch the game, Trips are becoming increasingly scarce from this Friday the 9th to Monday the 12th of July, as shown by the sales platforms of the two river passenger transport companies, Colonia Express and Buquebus.
As verified The Observer, at the moment no availability to travel to Buenos Aires this Friday at 7:00 or 1:45 p.m. (via Colonia). As for Saturday with the same conditions there is no availability for the 7 o’clock schedule either. For the 1:45 p.m. schedule, there is only availability in tourist class; not so in business and for first class.

As for the Colonia Express offers, for this Friday all its schedules are already sold out, except those at 7 o’clock (Express and Classic type), although the ecommerce already indicates that there are “Few places”. For Saturday there are more tickets available, although for the last hours of departure; the earliest ones are also out of stock.
Operators of river transport companies told The Observer that it is complex to incorporate more frequencies of ships to travel from Montevideo to Buenos Aires, due to the narrow margin of time they have to modify the infrastructure with which they work.
Bus from Tres Cruces to Buenos Aires
As expressed from the Tres Cruces terminal, there are still no requests to add more cars by these companies. One more car left early this Thursday (around 40 passengers) than was registered on Thursday of last week. In total, 14 cars left the terminal between 7 and 8:30 in the morning, they detailed.
Pablo Saraví, head of the Tres Cruces Control Tower, said that hetravel demand for this weekend is a particular situation because it is a sum of factors (Sub 20 World Cup and exchange difference). “It’s not like Mother’s Day that we can compare the movement we record with that of other occasions,” she exemplified.

“Collapse” of travel agencies
To this is added that travel agencies are in “collapse” after the requests they registered to travel to the neighboring countryas indicated to Café & Negocios.
With the classification of the Uruguayan team to the final of the Under 20 World Cup that will be held this Sunday in the city of La Plata (Argentina), between 4 and 5 p.m. this Thursday, the packages available to the Hiperviajes agency ended. “Our phones are collapsed at the moment due to the number of inquiries we have. in barely an hour The few available packages we had were sold,” said HiperViajes product manager Rodrigo Rosales.
The agency had a package that it enabled last Monday that included two nights of accommodation; transfer from the port to the hotel and transfer to La Plata; and the entrance to the party. The cost amounted to US$ 360. HiperViajes came to sell packages that include the stay of 300 people.
The CEO of Toc Toc Viajes, Andrés Gil, also recounted the madness of the fans for agreeing to his trip: “They got out of hand in minutes.”
New packages for sale?
Both agencies are working to get new packages on sale. “Hopefully we can put more packages on sale; but it does not depend on us, it depends on getting more accommodation and tickets”, explained Rosales. “Right now we are working on it, but it is difficult”, concluded.
In this sense, Gil added that from Toc Toc they are working with their agents in Argentina to be able to offer more packages. “It’s not easy, especially the issue of tickets, which is always a rather opaque world,” he commented.
