England Premier Soccer League
After setting an all-time record for the best scorer on the pitch, the clash has created an explosive buzz within South Korea. Officials from the Korean Football Association revealed, "The Interpark booking site saw a peak of 740,000 visitors, which included the ticket booking process and a long waiting list, a record high for the platform. The servers could not handle the pressure and there were problems with inaccessibility, registration and payment.
The discontent of many fans festered on the official social network of the Korean Football Association. Tickets for the June 2 match against Brazil are hard to come by, despite the booking site being paralyzed.
According to sources, this is not only the highest number of tickets in the history of the soccer team, but also the highest since the creation of the Interpark platform. This shows that the heat of the game with Brazil transcends several areas such as sports, musicals and concerts.
An official from the Korean Football Association said, "We have done our best to prepare for the ticketing operation by raising the maximum number of people on the booking page from 100,000 to 320,000 people. However, the 740,000 visits were still far beyond the capacity of the server. Many fans experienced difficulties in purchasing tickets. I sincerely apologize to them. We are in constant communication with Interpark and are working hard to ensure that fans will not encounter any problems in the ticket purchasing process."
