Aye there was a lot from what I remember. Romania vs Bulgaria at St James’s was something obscene like 50 quid a ticket.

There was loads of empty seats at Euro 96 games.
I was at France v Bulgaria.
Crowd was about 25,000 I think.

Price it properly and people will come
Appalling. Had no idea at the time. Wonder how a well a World Cup would go here?

Sell out most games surely. Bare in mind, that was 20 years ago, football was nowhere near as popular as it is now imo and that was also just the euros.

Probably depend on pricing. The likes of Morocco v Iran and Russia v Saudi Arabia wouldn't exactly capture the imagination. A lot would go just to say they've been to a world cup match but if it was like sixty quid they certainly wouldn't be selling out the SoL, would need a hell of a lot of £1 kids tickets. Obviously the big nations would sell tickets, and the latter stages, but many games in the group stage would have empty seats

Saving for the gravy then?
Not sure the likes of this game would sell out tbh. Football probably at its peak in 96 mind. It was booming. Especially Newcastle. I'm very surprised at the crowds at their place. Must have been asking fortunes for tickets. 48 team World Cup would have some shocking games too
