" Wales Tickets v Bosnia "
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=149144 :ayatollah:

The message is “Together stronger” from the FAW and as fans we can support that by putting club allegiances aside and fully get behind the Welsh team from the Terraces. We have the FSF Cymru “Wear red for Wales campaign” to encourage everyone to not wear club colours. We can make a difference from the stands and intimidate the opposition that is what their fans do to us at some away games.
It’s the start of another qualifying campaign and hopes are high that we will finally qualify for a final. It appears that the fans are starting to believe that and are snapping up tickets.

Total Ticket sales for the Bosnia match have now passed the 25,000 mark and are rising nicely already Today and expected to continue to rise throughout Today and Tomorrow, if you have decided late to go to this game, book your ticket today and collect it Tomorrow, or go to the Cardiff City stadium where you can buy tickets directly
All ticket Collections can be made from the stadium ticket office until about 3pm on Friday and then at the red booths between gates 3 and 4, from about 4pm.
To avoid big queues we advise people to collect their tickets as early as possible, if they can get down there earlier in the day rather than just when they arrive for the game that would be better.


Cyprus tickets are also on sale but because it’s a Monday night they are not selling so fast, a good result Friday will boost that total for sure and the ticket office will be open after the Bosnia game if fans want to buy Cyprus tickets. I have no figures for this game only that over 10,000 had been sold by this time last week, so that will obviously have increased.

Other news from the FAW website

Car drivers are advised that road works have begun at M4 Junction 33 (Cardiff West) that are likely to result in long delays in the area.
Drivers are advised to use alternative routes on Friday evening is possible.

The extra blocks in the Upper Ninian stand are now for sale.
But how is the sales figure for tickets only 25000?

Lower tiers hold 28,000
Less 1,000 for segregation
Less 1,000 for tier 4 in Grandstand and a few other unsold tickets

This should mean 26,000 sold plus about 2,000 in the Upper Ninian Stand, giving a ticket sales figure so far of 28,000
