Singaporean fans are left fuming as they came in droves to buy tickets for Singapore-Japan World Cup qualifier match.

Some had camped overnight while others made standing in line for the Singapore-Japan World Cup qualifier tickets their top priority.

However in less than 30 minutes after the tickets went on sale at 10am, what some of them had been queuing for all night were snapped up, long before they reached the front of the line.

It left hordes of fans disgruntled with both the Football Association of Singapore (FAS) & Sistic.

Many issue were raised such as why was it on a working Thursday & not on a weekend, selling it 21 different outlets, add that to the Internet & phone booking, that even if the person was among the early bird in the queue, he might not get the tickets.

Ticketing problems at several outlets resulting in the outlets not being to sell the tickets at the stated added to the ticketing woes, as some were angry at Sistic's ineptness.
