Everyone Wants Tickets for the Match: Long Lines of Freezing Zenica Residents

Ticket sales for the first playoff match began today at 9 AM at Centrotours agency branches. Due to limited capacity and established security procedures, 10,500 tickets were printed for sale, and the prices are identical to those for qualification matches: 40 KM (west stand), 30 KM (east), 20 KM (north and south), writes the BH News Agency Patria.

After waiting for more than 12 hours and spending a cold night, numerous Zenica residents finally bought tickets for the BiH - Ireland match. Amir Halilović was the first to buy his ticket, predicting a 3:0 result.

Last night's temperature was around 0 degrees Celsius, and even that did not manage to demoralize the fans, as all those who queued for tickets last night were still there this morning.

- I've been waiting here for at least 12 hours, I'm among the first and I hope to get a ticket. It was very cold last night, the temperature was below zero, but that didn't stop me because I want to enter the stadium and support our national team players - stated Muris Hrnjić.

This is the last match within these qualifications to be played at the Bilino Polje stadium, which is also the last chance for most local fans to watch a match. The match is scheduled for November 13, and the return leg in Dublin is on November 16.
