It is thought that almost 100,000 people have logged
onto the Cardiff City ticket web-site in an attempt to purchase seats for
Sunday's Playoff final at the Millennium Stadium. The club has confirmed that the system has crashed for the second time after it was overwhelmed by part-time fans who are not eligible to purchase tickets trying to order them through the web-site. Tickets went on sale to fans who are registered on the clubs database this morning, and many supporters have been camped outside Ninian Park from 4am this morning! 18,000 tickets have already been snapped up by season ticket holders and club members who were given the right to purchase them first, and it is thought that the remaining 17,800 seats allocated for Cardiff City supporters will be taken by registered database fans. Queens Park Rangers have been allocated 30,800 seats for the final, 3,000 less than City and are hopeful they can sell them. It promises to be a fantastic atmosphere. Discuss your thoughts on the upcoming final on the messageboard. |
