Ticket Sales Increase Ahead Of Big Night For Wayne Rooney

07 September 2015 09:33

There has been an increase in ticket sales for England's game against Switzerland but as it stands the stadium will not be full for a potentially record-breaking night for Wayne Rooney.

Rooney equalled Sir Bobby Charlton's 49-goal England record with a penalty in Saturday's 6-0 win over San Marino.

On Tuesday he will have the chance to bring his 50 up at Wembley - and after watching Rooney score his 49th goal on Saturday, some fans are eager to be there in case the history books are re-written.

It is understood there has been a significant increase in sales over the weekend, but as it stands, the stadium will not be full for the Euro 2016 qualifier.

As of Monday morning, around 60,000 tickets had been sold, which means the stadium will be two thirds full as it stands. More sales are expected over the next 24 hours.

The Football Association (FA) had to suspend ticket sales for five days last week because transport unions had called a tube strike for the day of the match.

That strike has now been called off and the FA is confident fans will be able to get to and from the match easily.

Tickets are available from £10 for children and £20 for adults.
