Hi, not a 'job' question, but I can't seem to find anything on securing tickets for the big soccer tournament being held in Bangkok next month.

For those that don't know, three teams from the English premier League, everton, Bolton and Man City will join the Thai national team and play two games on July 20th and 23rd.

I would love to combine a beach holiday with coming back to Bangkok and seeing those games.
if anyone has any kind of information at all on ticket availability, where to buy etc. please elt me know. I can't seem to find anything online.

Thanks in advance,
Eoin

"Tickets will be available at the Thai Ticket Master booths at Central Chidlom, Lard Prao,

Pinklao, Bangna & Big C Ramkhamhaeng at 400, 800 and 1,200 baht."

A brief search of the Thai Ticket Master webpage did not turn up any relevant details (yet) but ...

you could call, fax or e-mail them for details:

Hi Wuzza,

Thai Ticket Master are usually the people to see about these things but I too have been trying to get tix for these games and the staff at Central Bang Na couldn't help me. That was a few weeks ago so maybe they'll know about it now BUT you could also just roll up at Rajamangala Stadium on the day ( Taxi drivers will know it ) as it holds 65,000 and I can't believe it will be full for each game.

Good luck,

Dunk.

^ Now this is a welcome surprise !


After playing a 1-1 tie with Everton this evening,

Thailand wins the sudden death penalty shootout 5-3.


They now advance to the final match on Saturday.


I'm speechless.


On auspicious occasions like this, we even fly the flag


but don't ask me to sing the National Anthem.
