Wow, this sounds great. Can I get my tickets in advance, or only day-of? If so, what time can I pick up my tickets if I want 'em early?

I've been wanting to see something here for ages- this looks great. Thanks for the heads up!

Has someone seen any of these games yet? I'm planning to head out there tomorrow to catch Cam-Burm. I took a look earlier today and saw that it was indeed set up for football.

That's a good sign.

I saw Myanmar up against Cambodia and man was it a slaughter. Cambodia got 3 goals within the first half, one in the second. Myanmar couldn't get their act together, but they had plenty of shots on goal. It was fun to check the stadium out and see that game, but damn was it quiet. At one point I cheered for Myanmar and I immediately had six or seven people swivel their heads at me as if it were a theatre. Oh well, that's what happens when Kaohsiung puts ABSOLUTELY NO PUBLICITY OUT for this event. The announcer thanked the 422 people who came out to see the game.

Let me tell you 422 out of 55,000 is a little sad. I wish these talented players got the spectators they deserve! Get out there and see the last few games, people! AFC BYOB and food at a state of the art national stadium- you'd flip for an opportunity like this back home.
