Aug.20 (GMM) Singapore seems headed for a sellout, but the same cannot be said of the other new venue on the 2008 formula one calendar, Valencia.

It emerged this week that about 100,000 of the 106,000 race-day tickets for the Singapore night race, to be held under lights at the end of September, have already been snapped up, almost guaranteeing a full house.

But the same cannot be said of the European grand prix, being held for the first time this weekend on the streets of the Spanish port city Valencia.

The German news agency SID claims that not all of the 112,000 tickets for Sunday have been sold.
