Anyone know how many tickets sold?

Anyone know how many tickets sold?

No, but going onto the ticketmaster page shows the only concentrations of available seats are in the corners and behind the goals. Could be close to a sell-out as we get closer to Tuesday.

Right now I'd estimate around 17 to 18k sold based on what's still available.

I'd be very surprised if that's the crowd. Were all the stands put on sale?

I have no idea how many have been sold. I know there would be sections that have been used for group bookings from football clubs. They had a special form to fill out for group bookings with a reduction in prices. I think the whole North Stand will only have block NU4 open for the Canadian fans. Unless there is a sudden huge demand. Some of the areas on the ticket map haven’t been opened up yet, but with the blue sections filling up in the East. There are only some sporadic tickets left so they will open up some more blocks? It’s a pretty much a meaningless match. It’s not even a Nations League fixture. The only thing is it may help with the Welsh teams world rankings? 17 to 18 very doubtful. I hope 12 and maybe even up to 15. Most probably 9 or 10? I just don’t know. It is all speculation on my part.

No idea and if they haven't been, then my estimate will be way out. I based it on when you ask for 2 seats together, the only options are in the corners, one section in the North and lots in the South.

Do you have to go through the FAW website for tickets?

Surely there is enough local prem plastics who follow Wales who would attend.

 

[JackSomething]

My estimate earlier was definitely too high as I didn't clock that they haven't opened the South/East corner or the North/West corner.

My updated complete stab in the dark guess is that we'll have about 14k there.

That would be great for a friendly.

going to the Forest game instead

Pointless international friendly; hopefully, nobody will pick up an injury.

Best thing Coleman did (well apart from reaching the Euro semi finals ) was not arranging any friendlies. Helped our rankings and meant there were less withdrawals from squads.

Pity that UEFA/FIFA don’t allow that any more. Only thing more pointless than the game on Tuesday is the one against England 3/4 days before we play Belgium at home.

I’d imagine Cabango will play 90 mins which is not ideal - although maybe after missing pre season he will want minutes in his legs.

Having one less window in the Autumn and the 1st one not until late September will be better moving forward.

Out of interest, how are Swans Welsh flags welcomed at Wales away games now. Is there still hostility from certain quarters?

I remember my flag was ripped down in Nuremburg in the 80's and again in Denmark.

Not been fussed in following Wales away for 2 decades now so be interested if the vibe has changed?
