Tickets to catch football matches here for the 28th Southeast Asian (SEA) Games are some of the most highly sought after passes this month, and some have taken the opportunity to carry out schemes for a quick buck.
According to The Straits Times, two men — aged 29 and 31 — have been arrested by the police after they were found to have been allegedly selling fake tickets to the football match between Thailand and Vietnam, scheduled to take place at Bishan Stadium today.
The public is advised to purchase their SEA Games tickets directly from official vendors such as SingPost Outlets, the Box Office at Singapore Indoor Stadium or the website itself to avoid scammers.
Police have issued a list of ticket serial numbers that may have been duplicated — those holding on to the tickets with the listed serial number may be denied entry to the stadium.
