Fans will cough out the sum of N5,500 (£10) to watch the Super Eagles battle the Teranga Lions of Senegal at The Hive on Thursday night.
The Hive holds a little over 6,000 fans, is incredibly easy to access by public transport, and is convenient for many of London’s vast number of football supporters.
But sales have been sluggish, perhaps because few fans know the game is even due to happen.
Behind the goal at one end, in the most central block, just 11 of the 480 tickets have been sold, while along one side of the pitch there are blocks where not a seat has been taken.
A Barnet spokesman told Sportsmail that they are hopeful to be around their usual League Two attendance, between 1,400 and 1,900, which would still leave 4,000 empty seats.
There is still time for those sales to pick up, of course. The game doesn’t kick off until 8pm tonight and there ought to be plenty who just show up on the door.
