I Have Ticket to the Australian vs Uzbekistan soccer game

yippy, I have a ticket. It cost me a whopping 3,000 soum! That's the equivalent of 3 water melons, about 50 tomatoes, or one bottle of beer and some change (about $2.50).  I'm not sure that there is anywhere else in the world that you could get a cheaper ticket to a World Cup qualifying game.  I think that making the ticket, with its flashy hologram, probably cost more than the price they charged me for it.  I don't know anything more about the event. I asked a local about what time I should turn up for the match (kick off is 8:30pm) and he said 8:30pm. I'm therefore not expecting any pre-match entertainment. Others have said that the crowd can be quite feisty.  Should be a great night... or a cultural experience.
