World Cup Internet Scams

The FIFA World Cup organizers issued a warning regarding black-market tickets urging fans to steer clear of Internet scams. The organizers have stated that anyone falling for these dubious offers run the risk of losing a lot of money and failing to gain admission into the stadiums.

To limit ticket fraud, tickets for World Cup 2006 contain a small RFID microchip so that the ticket is forge proof. Each World Cup ticket is unique. All stadiums and matches will have turnstiles equipped with proximity readers that will be able to detect whether the ticket is authentic or not. The RFID microchips contain access information only. No personal data such as names will be stored on the chip.

In an effort to stop the reselling of 2006 FIFA World Cup tickets on the secondary market changes in the law were made making it illegal for anyone to sell tickets in a public place in some countries. However, a loophole in the law has emerged regarding the resale of tickets on the Internet because the World Wide Web is not a public place. Consequently, ticket brokers selling FIFA World Cup tickets online are acting within the law.

FIFA stated that the German ticketing system is much too complicated and that they plan to do their own ticket distribution for 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa.

How to Spot an Authentic World Cup Ticket

  1. Tickets for the 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany should only contain the hologram of the Germany2006 logo.
  2. On genuine tickets cutaways at the sides form recesses on the ticket edges.
  3. Genuine tickets have a perforated tear off section running thru the hologram.
  4. Hold the ticket up to strong light, and look for a dark rectangular area in the upper left corner which is the microchip.
  5. Check the ticket for accuracy of game information including original ticket price.
