The game will be a 45,000 sell-out, says TNS
The last remaining tickets have been sold for the first leg of the European Champions League qualifier between holders Liverpool and Welsh Premier side TNS.

There were long queues when the final 100 seats for the game at Anfield on 13 July, went on sale on Thursday.

Liverpool had already sold their 42,000 tickets.

A dozen coaches will travel to Merseyside from TNS' ground in Llansantffraid, near Welshpool, Powys.

The club has so far sold 500 of its initial 3,000 allocation for the return leg at the Racecourse in Wrexham on 19 July.

Liverpool have also been sent 3,000 tickets, with TNS and the Premiership club to decide on allocating the remaining 4,000 seats.

TNS director Richard Hann said: "The match at Anfield will be a 45,000 sell-out, and Liverpool have already sold their allocation of 42,000".

Mr Hann said tickets for TNS' home match at Wrexham's Racecourse Ground had been on sale for four days.

He suspected that many fans were waiting to see what the result was from next week's match before buying their tickets for the second leg.

Tickets are being sold through Spot Distribution which is based on Oswestry's Maesbury Industrial Estate in Shropshire.
