500 Fake Tickets Found So Far For Costa Rica
- Mexico Game
So far a total 500 fake tickets to the Costa
Rica - Mexico soccer game have been detected
following a call by the Federación de Fútbol
for an exchange of tickets that began last
week.
Gina Escobar of the Federación confirmed the
number of fake tickets, while the Federación
lawyer, Milton Castro, assures that there is
no concern, blaming the whole incident on
the weakness of the system used by
Specialticket to sell tickets to sports
events.
Castro said that they have not yet been able
to determine where the fake tickets came
from or how they were distributed.
Last week the Federación recalled all
tickets to the soccer game that will be
played at the Saprissa stadium on Saturday,
September 5.
A woman working at Specialticket, in charge
of tickets, was detained, interrogated and
then let go with "medidas cautelares" (bail)
following the detection of the fake tickets.
The woman's identity has not been made
public.
Federación officials say that the
investigation into the fake tickets is
continuing by judicial authorities, who
expect more raids and arrests in the matter.
