Scalpers Rubbing Hands: Fans Barely Ask About Price, Tickets for Ireland a Steep 200 KM

Only two days remain until our national team's first playoff match, and tickets in regular sale have been gone for a long time, writes the Patria News Agency.

The only way for BiH fans to get tickets is to buy them from so-called scalpers. On the online buying and selling service olx.ba, there are fewer and fewer tickets, and prices range from 100 to 200 KM for the west stand, and from 50 to 100 KM for the south, north, and east stands.

However, the prices are somewhat different with the scalpers.

- I have a few tickets left, I think I'll sell them tomorrow or on the day of the match. I didn't make any profit from the last match, I had a lot of tickets left, so I sold west stand tickets for as little as 3 KM - a Zenica scalper tells Patria.

This time, the situation is somewhat different, and the best customers are fans coming from the diaspora.

- People from other countries, or their relatives here, contact me, they reserve tickets or buy them immediately. I am sure I will sell all the tickets and make a good profit, unlike last time. Now people barely ask about the price, it's important for them to get tickets – adds this scalper.

This is the last match in these qualifications to be played at Bilino Polje, and also the only opportunity for most fans to cheer for the national team from the stands.

We remind you that on November 13th, starting at 8:45 PM at Bilino Polje, BiH footballers will play against Ireland in the playoff for the 2016 European Championship in France.
