Locomotiv Sofia had match tickets to sell and no amount of giant puddles around their stadium was going to stop them.

From the land of Dimitar Berbatov and Hristo Stoichkov comes this odd story of ticket-selling in trying circumstances.

Lokomotiv Sofia were due to play at home to Slavia Sofia in a Bulgarian Premier League match. Heavy rain had caused giant puddles around the stadium, making it impossible to sell tickets from the ticket office. Not to be outdone by the elements, club officials took it upon themselves to sell the tickets from a car in a drier place not far from the stadium.

The home fans would have been pretty thankful for the makeshift ticket office as Lokomotiv defeated their rivals 2-0 having been firmly in the driving seat throughout. *JOE goes to get coat*
