Kiosks open in four cities for Asian Cup ticket sales

The second phase of AFC Asian Cup 2007 ticket sales is underway, exactly one month prior to the 7 July kickoff in Bangkok. Tickets are now available on a first-come-first-served basis at select kiosks in key locations in the four host countries of Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam. The online sale of tickets started on 24 April and "to date has received an excellent response," stated the AFC website. Fans can continue ordering tickets online via www.afcasiancup.com.

"The second phase of ticket sales signals a decisive phase in the build-up to Asia's premier national team competition," said Clare Kenny Tipton, AFC's Assistant General Secretary and Director of Marketing and Communications. "The online sale of tickets last month was a milestone development in promoting the game to fans in Asia and worldwide and we expect a robust sale of tickets through the kiosks."

The four local ticketing agents are: Indonesia - Axcess Ticketing Sdn Bhd (Stadium Utama Gelora Bung Karno, Pintu X-XI, Jakarta); Malaysia - Tickets2u (1st Floor, Wisma FAM, Jalan SS 5A/9, Kelana Jaya, Petaling Jaya Selangor). Thailand - Thai Ticket Master (27th Floor, Maleenont Tower 3199 Maleenont Tower, RamaIV rd., Klongton, Klongtoey, Bangkok 10110). Vietnam - Ale (5th Floor, VFF Building, 18 Ly Van Phuc, Ha Noi).

Fans are advised to note that no other ticketing agencies, other than the four appointed, are authorised to sell AFC Asian Cup 2007 tickets and AFC is not bound to honour in any manner tickets purchased by anyone through unofficial and unauthorised vendors.
