After the uproar over ticket sales, fans collect tickets to see the national team

After the uproar, controversy and anger over the sale of tickets to see the national team at its first friendly after the World Cup consecration in Qatar, the start of ticket delivery has arrived.

The match will take place on Thursday the 23rd at the Monumental against a B team from the Panamanian national team, a rival with a very low competitive level which in fact represents a pretext in the middle of the FIFA appointment to celebrate obtaining the third star with the Argentinean public.

As disclosed sportick, the company that was chosen by the AFA for the million dollar business behind ticket sales, just one minute into ticket sales, there were 1,400,000 people in the virtual waiting room waiting to buy a of the 63,361 locations available. A couple of hours later the “Sold Out” sign came up.

“We thank everyone for so much love for the Albiceleste and we regret that it is impossible for all fans to enter a single stadium,” the AFA wrote in a statement.

The privileged ones who have been able to buy their ticket virtually must collect it in its physical form from this Friday at the ticket offices located in the River Stadium, in Núñez. A situation that began to take place this Friday morning, with great calm and order.

However, this mechanism (only recently announced) has raised concern among fans who bought tickets from cities far from Buenos Aires and who cannot travel that far in advance. The cases of the families of Rafaela, Córdoba and Mendoza were going viral on social networks and represent a problem that many will suffer.

For now, there is no official information on this, but the company should provide a reasonable solution, such as providing this service on match day.

It is worth mentioning that after the match against Panama, Argentina will travel to Santiago del Estero to play a new friendly, this time against the Curacao team, a match that will be played on March 28 at the Madre de Ciudades stadium.
