Denounce ticket resale
A few hours before the game, on social networks there are complaints from fans about abuse in the price of the resale of tickets to see the National Team.
The large number of Colombians in Australian territory, and with a massive presence in the matches, would have triggered the rise in the prices of resale tickets.
However, it is a practice that is regulated and is not allowed in Australia. Resale in this country, understood as an exponential price increase, is prohibited and is even punishable by imprisonment.
For the quarterfinal matches, official tickets purchased at the box office cost between 19 euros ($85,000 Colombians) and 49 euros ($220,000), but the resale prices would be exorbitant.
And Colombians reselling tickets for US$200 Australian for the Colombia vs England match.
