WANDERERS THE HOTTEST TICKET

WHILE the NRL has struggled to sell finals tickets in Sydney, there’s no such problem for soccer. Already 50,000 tickets have been sold to the Sydney FC-Wanderers derby at ANZ Stadium on the weekend after the rugby league grand final, October 8. Officials now expect a crowd of up to 70,000 for the A-League blockbuster. The derby has also attracted incredibly strong corporate interest. The Wanderers have sold 700 tickets to a derby-eve sponsors’ lunch at ANZ Stadium.
