Reports of a 'meltdown' of the communications networks were unfounded as the tickets were snapped up by fans eager to see England in Middlesbrough for the first time in nearly 70 years.
For the record the best way to purchase the tickets was undoubtedly via the internet, I have personally heard of several fans who were unable to purchase tickets by the old telephone method.
The match on 11th June could possibly see Boro captain Gareth Southgate pitched against in-form Boro striker Szilard Nemeth.
