The Trinidad and Tobago Football Federation and the Local Organising Committee Germany 2006 wishes to state that contrary to rumors being circulated, tickets for the November 12 2006 World Cup qualifying playoff with Bahrain have not been sold out nor have they gone on sale.
Several calls have been coming into the TTFF headquarters on Dundonald Street from anxious fans enquiring about ticket sales which will in fact go on sale on November 10 from opening business hours at the advertised KFC and Republic Bank branches.
Peter O’Connor, marketing manager for the TTFF, made it clear that the average fan will have the opportunity to purchase up to six tickets to view the game at the Hasely Crawford Stadium.
“Tickets have not been sold out nor been sold. There are not no blocks of tickets on sale for corporate Trinidad and Tobago and tickets will go on sale at Nov 10,” O’Connor stated.
“We have also informed all KFC and Republic Banks branches to not sell more than six tickets to any one purchaser. This is to ensure that the individual supporter has every opportunity to purchase tickets and if any are left over on Friday night, they will be sold from 9am on match day at the match venue.”
O’Connor further added: “There has been a huge demand from corporate Trinidad for large blocks of tickets but these requests have been turned down and please do not contact the TTFF offices for ticket sales because tickets will only be available from the advertised outlets.”
The TTFF and LOC also wishes to advise Advertisers and other companies to avoid any attempts to exploit the National Team and the “Journey to Germany” campaign.
“We are appealing to advertisers and companies not to exploit the popularity of the team or the journey to Germany for their own gain. We are already aware of attempts being made to do this. Please be aware that any such party will be required to obtain permission to market any product or contest on the basis of the National Team and the qualification for Germany. And if they fail to respect our requests then the matter will be dealt with accordingly,” O’Connor added.
