Confiscated tickets for "BATE vs Barcelona" re-sold two hours before game

Some people were lucky to buy the tickets to the game "BATE vs Barcelona" a couple of hours before the game started, in the box-offices of the stadium.

Euroradio found out that the Lenin district tax inspection of Minsk confiscated 75 tickets just before the "BATE vs Barcelona" game.

“Materials of inspections, administrative protocols were sent to the Economic Court of Minsk for consideration. The Football Federation should decide on the further destiny of these tickets, and we passed them there”, - head of department for operative control measures of the Lenin district tax inspection of Minsk Andrej Zhydalovich has told to Euroradio.

Five unfair dealers were subjected to administrative responsibility. Some of them were found in the Internet, some - near the "Dynama" box-offices. According to the tax inspection’s employee, they caught unfair dealers even on September 28 - the day of the game. They took the tickets to the company "ABFF-journey" by taxi.

Euroradio's correspondent was told in the "ABFF-journey" that the tax inspection had provided about 100 tickets to them. All of them were re-sold.

"ABFF-journey": “About 100 tickets were confiscated, for all 3 games. It seems to be there weren't that many at all. There were about 10-15 tickets to the game against "Barcelona" at the maximum. They were bought on the spot as soon as they appeared - you now there was a great fuss!”.

It turns out that someone stood in a queue at night three days before the game to see the Catalan team, and someone was lucky to buy a ticket two hours before the game!

An employee of the "ABFF-journey" assures that the tickets to the game, received from the tax inspection, were returned to the box-offices. Confiscated tickets to "Milan" and "Victoria" will also be sold soon.

"ABFF-journey": “Our company has to pay taxes for selling confiscated tickets. Therefore, we re-sold them in order to avoid additional expenses”.

Euroradio found out that the Lenin district tax inspection of Minsk started following those who wished to "earn" on the game against "Milan" already. However, no one has been detained yet.

Andrej Zhydalovich: “There were advertisements in the Internet before the game against "Barcelona", and now. I would say the number of such advertisements does not get less”.
