The Table Mountain Aerial Cableway has introduced an online ticketing system, allowing visitors to the famous Cape Town attraction to avoid long queues at the base of the mountain.

Online tickets are available from www.tablemountain.net and are valid for seven days after purchase. During the seven day period, a full refund will be given. Alternatively, you can extend your ticket for a further three weeks, and forego a refund.

Online tickets will cost R145 per adult (return) plus R10 administrative fee, and R76 per child return, plus R10 administrative fee. The administrative fee is non-refundable. These rates are valid until September 30, 2009.

From October 1, 2009 to September 30, 2010, visitors will pay R160 per adult return (plus R10 administrative fee) and R80 per child return (plus R10 administrative fee).

The Cableway operates daily, weather permitting. For information call 021 424 8181 or visit www.tablemountain.net.
