Do they ever play qualifying matches at home in Seoul? How much are tickets? Does it sell out? TIA

I saw them play at Seoul World Cup Stadium last year, against Serbia, IIRC. I believe it was 20,000 each for tickets pretty close to the field, but I could be wrong. Someone else bought them, so I'm not sure how to go about buying them.

They will be playing on the 12th, at home against Lebanon. No Idea how much tickets are, Shouldn't be that expensive (depending on where you want to sit). Does it sell out? Sometimes, but usually not (in my experience). There should be some tickets available at the gate, although you may well be stuck for choice if its a popular match.

The match I saw was pretty empty, but it wasn't a huge matchup (probably a bigger draw than Lebanon, though).

The game against Lebanon is in Goyang, not the Seoul World Cup Stadium. Don't go to the wrong stadium Laughing

If you want to see them play keep an eye on their schedule because sometimes they schedule home exhibition matches.

Their next three World Cup qualifiers at home are next year.

This was in yesterday's online Korea Times. The National team is going to play New Zealand in Seoul on July 14th. That's a Saturday. Will this be a day or night game and how do you buy tickets?

The Korea Football Association (KFA) said the Korean squad will take on New Zealand in Seoul on July 14, and Senegal near London on July 20.

Korea's men's Olympic football team previously played two matches against its New Zealand counterpart in 2000, winning both games 2-1 and 5-2. It will face Senegal for the first time.

That's the Olympic Team, not the full national team. Most of the players will be young under-23s. Not sure about tickets for this match, you'll need to check about 1-2 weeks before the match.

For full national team matches the easiest way to buy tickets is to go to Hana Bank. Tickets usually go on sale two weeks in advance and cost 20, 30 or 50,000 depending on where you sit. You can also get tickets on the day at the ticket office at the ground if there are surplus (mostly there are) or from touts.

Thanks for the heads up. I suppose more will want to go when we get closer to game day.

A nice tune-up before London.

By the way, anyone ever hear of the Women's National Team?

You should be able to get tickets at the door. Go early and eat dinner there, at the stadium. There are restaurants and stores around the outer part of the stadium.
