Brilliant work from you scoop. Hope the FAW are giving you a wee slice..  Ha ha, I wish! Doing it cos I love watching Wales and I got fed up of watching us play in front of so many empty seats. Baxter is right though, the FAW have really targeted their marketing and got the core support out. They got the pricing spot on too. |

Under 75 Bosnia tickets left in the lower tier now.
Even if you add in all the unsold Tournament Tickets, that's only 400 available seats in the whole lower tier.

Will be interesting to see how many people actually wait until the night to buy tickets now. Looks like block 514 will sell out tonight, if blocks 513 & 515 follow tomorrow then there must be a serious chance of us reaching capacity for this game.
Anyone know what the take up of corporate tickets in the top tier of the Grandstand is like?

Hopefully it's true we've sold 25k already, getting double what we had in March, so 26580, that would be incredible. Anything extra would be unreal.

4 of my mates (who were supposed to book with the group I'm going with but didn't) were planning on just buying a ticket on the night but I've told them that they need to book in advanced or they risk standing outside the CCS with a sad look in their faces as the mighty Red Dragons rip apart the Bosnian defence. I would not want to be stood in a wet dark car park whilst that show is going on.
C'mon Wales

Just emailed Lysney Owens, she said it's ok to use a Junior ticket for an Adult at this game!

I didn't imagine we'd sell anywhere near this for the game let alone just in advance, not even a week ago. It is amazing to see and long may it continue. I may faint if we get 30k+. Can you imagine if Allen & Ramsey were fit too what that would do to ticket sales? Probably be sold out now haha! Could be touts outside haha, when did that last happen, vs Russia? |

Live on Sky Sports 5 I think, but are there any highlights on BBC or S4C? I can't find any...

Just seen on another thread, there is a highlights package on ITV4 on Saturday at 11:30pm for all the qualifiers. Better than nothing.

the game is heading for a sell out. The upper tier is on sale with 514 well on the way to being sold out. 513 and 515 are also doing well.

108-9 is practically sold out. Probably about 20-5 individual seats left there.
I noticed in 513-15 at the back of these blocks they have put on sale every other row, wonder why?
14 seats left in 514. 513 & 515 selling well.
Hopefully all these blocks show red or orange with only a few spare by Thursday evening. If they do, the game will be sold out more than likely with 511/2/6/7 for the walk up crowd.

Just counted between the tournament tickets and individual tickets only 110 remain on the lower/original tier of the stadium. Block 514 is sold out bar 4 tickets and 513 and 515 are now getting limited.

They also need to be all around the stadium trying to sell tickets for the Cyprus game
Outside the ground before the game
In the ground during half time (sales will spike if we are winning)
and after the game (in and outside the ground (again a massive demand if we get a result)
STRIKE NOW FAW
I'm sure you can find enough people prepared to help

Looks like they are going to need to put a couple more sections on sale in the top deck. Middle all gone bar 5 or 6, the other two both about three-quarters sold.

It's a must win game not just for qualification but for the crowds to return. I agree but we are not expected to win this game (see rankings, seedings and bookies). It is imperative that they try and sell as many Cyprus tickets before the game. People who will queue for quite some time to pick up their tickets may want to purchase while they are there to void that again |

How many seats are still to be released? They have done this well by selling in tranches giving the impression that not many seats are left |

Post by sleepy on Oct 8, 2014 12:50:57 GMT
4 more chunks in the top deck, each have about 610 seats. There are also a few hundred in bottom tier from unsold tourny tickets. Around 3k total i would guess, could be less though.

2 more sections have just gone on sale in the top deck. The middle 3 are all almost gone now.
After that, only 2 more sections to go....

My kids are going to get a shock, don't think they have seen a full stadium, they will love it My kids have been to 2 games; against Finland and the recent ladies game against England. At the former it was the Grandstand and Canton End. At the latter is it was just the Grandstand. They will love it! As will we! |

It will be interesting to have an idea on numbers. If they are being forced into opening the top tier, I would have thought that would be way over £25k? Including the extension, there is a capacity of over 33k: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiff_City_StadiumIf not full, would be a great boost to have 30k there. |
