Fans alerted to unscrupulous ticket touts
and unauthorised ticket sales
As the kick-off of the 2014
FIFA World Cup Brazil™ in
Sao Paulo draws nearer,
unscrupulous ticket touts
worldwide continue to take
advantage of fans attempting to obtain match tickets.
Increasingly, companies,
websites and individuals are
offering tickets to unsuspecting fans through unauthorised resells at exorbitant
prices.
As a result, FIFA and MATCH
Enforcement, a division of
MATCH Services tasked by FIFA
with detecting and deterring the
unauthorised sale of tickets, are
further stepping up their efforts
and cooperation with authorities
to curb such activities at all levels.
It is important to reiterate that the
only legitimate source of tickets is
www.FIFA.com. No other websites
or parties have any rights to legitimately sell tickets for the 2014
FIFA World Cup Brazil.
FIFA’s Marketing Director, Thierry Weil explained: “For FIFA it is
key to protect fans from the risks
of illegal sale of tickets. Over the
last few weeks we have unfortunately seen more and more people
leaving our ticket centres disap-
‘combating the scourge
of unauthorised
ticket sale requires a
dedicated team effort’
pointed as they failed to collect
their tickets purchased through
unofficial websites. FIFA cancels
tickets discovered as illegally sold
or resold with the bearers risking
not being permitted entry into
2014 FIFA World Cup™ matches.
“Like football, combating the
scourge of unauthorised ticket sale
requires a dedicated team effort.
Besides FIFA, the fans decide
where to purchase their tickets,
while authorities at all levels and
jurisdictions possess the skills and
legal tools to efficiently intervene
and punish such activities.”
The sale of tickets is closely
supervised, including new techniques used by touts to obtain
tickets illegally, to effectively
counter them, cancelling tickets
and returning them to the system
when identified. Every effort is
also made to efficiently secure the
interfaces in the payment process,
while also taking precautionary
action to prevent phishing and
similar cyber-criminal attacks.
Under Article 41 of Brazil’s Fan
statute it is a criminal offence to
sell or supply a ticket for more
than the face price. Authorities can
clamp down on such activities and
sanction persons or companies
accordingly. FIFA and MATCH Enforcement have been providing information to Brazilian authorities
to assist them in their enforcement
of this statute and to prosecute
those violating it.
