I realize tickets for this will be incredibly difficult to get. Does anyone know when they go on sale? I'm assuming they can be bought at Hana Bank like usual, but hopefully they haven't gone on yet...

Any info, or any links, are appreciated.

I bought some from Hana Bank on Thursday morning, good seats were still left.

I wasn't able to find much English information on the site.

Someone with Korean skills mentioned being able to buy them over the phone.

Range was 30,000 - 50,000.

I got the 50,000, right at midfield about 20 rows up.

With North Korea just defeating Jordan 2-0, the game is Seoul is meaningless. Both North and South korea will advance to the next round. Expect North korea to really push FIFA to move the game and then, if FIFA does not budge, forfeit the game at the last minute. They have nothing to lose now, so they will make it political.

I hope this does not happen, but it seems to be their pattern with sporting events in the South.

That's precicely the reason I do expect them to show up now. It'll be one big happy love-in with nothing at stake now, like the previous few friendly matches between North and South in recent years in Seoul. If there was any danger of SK being in a position to eliminate NK, I think the North would rather have taken the default loss than risk losing on the pitch.

The North Korean FA reconfirmed their plans today to fly in on the 19th so we'll soon see if they actually do.
