Tickets for the June 6 CONCACAF World Cup qualifier between Trinidad and Tobago and Costa Rica at the Dwight Yorke Stadium in Bacolet, Tobago, were a hot commodity yesterday.
Little more than an hour and a half later, the covered stand tickets had also been sold.
The Tobago ticket hotline--635-2255 (635-BALL)--was busy for most of the day, from the moment they opened at 8 a.m.
Those who were successful in reaching the ticket office will collect their tickets tomorrow between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. at the match venue. Those purchasing tickets must walk with cash to complete payment.
The Dwight Yorke Stadium seats a maximum 7,500, a far cry from the 24,000 of the Hasely Crawford Stadium, Port of Spain, which is currently under major renovations ahead of the inaugural Caribbean Games in July.
On Sunday afternoon, Trinidad and Tobago head coach Russell Latapy arrived in the sister isle with 23 players in his provisional squad to begin a live-in training camp ahead of the World Cup qualifier.
Following check-in at Le Grand Courlan Hotel, Latapy conducted an evening training session at the Dwight Yorke Stadium and they will continue preparations before Latapy announces a final squad a week before the all-important qualifier.
