Second round of ticket sales for Bosnia and Herzegovina – Wales match: Fans camping in Zenica since last night

Hundreds of fans have been camping in Zenica since last night to avoid missing out on buying a ticket for the Bosnia and Herzegovina – Wales match, reports a reporter from the Bosnian news agency Patria.

Due to security procedures, fewer tickets were printed than the stadium can accommodate – 10,500 tickets were put on sale at prices of 40, 30 and 20 KM. 

Part of the tickets are also being sold at Centrotrans branches.

Semir Kesten told the Patria agency that he arrived with his friends last night at 11 p.m., to secure a spot in line for tickets.

- There are 16 of us in total, we want to buy tickets and cheer for the national team from the stands on Saturday. It was cold and we waited a long time, but we are big fans and we hope for a victory – said Kesten.

However, even though fans came a day early to buy match tickets, disabled persons had priority this morning.

Amir Halilović said he regularly buys tickets and is a big fan of the Bosnian football team.

- God willing, we will beat Wales on Saturday – said Halilović, who had the honor of being the first to buy a ticket after they were put on sale this morning.

Two days ago, ticket sales began for fans who cheered for the Dragons in the earlier match against Andorra, and today for other fans as well.

Bosnia and Herzegovina hosts Wales at Bilino Polje in the penultimate qualifying match for the Euro 2016 in France. The Dragons will most likely play without the best Bosnian striker Edin Džeko, but coach Mehmed Baždarević believes that the team, carried by the fans, will still secure three points, writes Patria.
