The issue is that the edifice can only house 20,000 fans but there is huge demand for tickets. Authorities are anticipating a mad rush for tickets when they go on sale this morning. If certain unscrupulous persons decide to over sale tickets and cash in, there could be a worrying situation. This 2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier will be the first competitive Black Stars match to be played in Tamale.
