CARDIFF, Wales (AP) — There will be more people in Millennium Stadium in Cardiff to watch the Wales-France World Cup semifinal on video screens at dawn than there will be at the actual match in New Zealand on Saturday.
The Welsh Rugby Union said about 65,000 free tickets were picked up by the time the box office closed.
Eden Park, the semifinal venue in Auckland, holds only 60,000.
Wales is trying to reach its first World Cup final.
Roger Lewis, the WRU group chief executive, described the response of fans to the "Wake Up to Wales" event as magnificent.
