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
38
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
disappointed 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 cybercriminal 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.
