Hong Kong - As anticipation builds for football legend Lionel Messi's upcoming exhibition match in Hong Kong, local sports authorities are urging caution amid a frenzied ticket scalping market. Within an hour of going on sale, all tickets for Inter Miami's match against a Hong Kong select side had been claimed, sparking a scramble among diehard fans desperate to see Messi's magic in person.
In a statement, Sports Minister Kevin Yeung warned supporters to beware of opportunistic scalpers. The exclusively digital tickets have surfaced for resale at astronomical prices on secondary platforms. When asked about anti-scalping policies, Yeung pointed to past methods like prioritizing general public access and "real-name" verification systems where possible.
On potential legislative upgrades, Yeung signaled openness to stiffer penalties or amended laws if needed. Originally distributed through the Klook app at prices from HK$880-HK$4,880, resale listings on Viagogo now ask HK$8,800-HK$12,000 per pair. Meanwhile, Carousell features blocks of four consecutive seats for HK$5,000 and training session passes at HK$780. When tickets went live last Friday, huge queues formed as football fans in the city of 7.5 million scrambled to secure their spots to see the legendary Messi take the pitch. Sports officials urge vigilance amid the heightened scalping market.
香港非官方梅西比赛门票快速售空后发出警告
香港 - 随着人们对足球传奇人物莱昂内尔·梅西即将在香港举行的表演赛的期待不断增强，当地体育当局敦促人们在疯狂的倒卖门票市场中保持谨慎。 发售后一个小时内，迈阿密国际对阵香港精选球队的比赛门票全部被抢购一空，引发了铁杆球迷的争夺，渴望亲眼目睹梅西的魔力。
体育部长杨润雄在一份声明中警告支持者提防投机黄牛。 独家数字门票已在二级平台上以天价转售。 当被问及反倒卖政策时，杨指出了过去的方法，例如优先考虑公众访问和尽可能使用“实名”验证系统。
关于潜在的立法升级，杨表示愿意在必要时采取更严厉的处罚或修改法律。 最初通过 Klook 应用程序分销的价格为 880 港元至 4,880 港元，现在 Viagogo 上的转售价格为每双 8,800 港元至 12,000 港元。 与此同时，Carousell 的四个连续座位售价为 5,000 港元，培训课程通行证售价为 780 港元。 上周五门票开始发售时，这座拥有 750 万人口的城市的球迷们排起了长队，争先恐后地抢占席位，一睹传奇人物梅西上场的风采。 体育官员敦促人们在倒卖市场加剧的情况下保持警惕。
