Asia Cup UAE: Fake India-Pakistan Match Tickets Selling for Over Dh11,000
With the Asia Cup schedule officially announced earlier this week, cricket fans are eagerly awaiting ticket sales, especially for the high-voltage India vs. Pakistan group-stage clash on September 14.
However, scammers are already targeting fans, with fake ticket websites offering passes for exorbitant prices, even before official sales have begun.
A quick Google search using terms like “Asia Cup India Pakistan tickets” shows multiple unofficial and suspicious sites, some even appearing as sponsored ads. These websites are selling “VIP” tickets for over Dh11,000 and general admission passes starting from Dh1,500.
During the last India-Pakistan encounter in the UAE for the ICC Champions Trophy, tickets sold out in no time, leaving many fans empty-handed after hours of waiting. This time, the frenzy has created an opportunity for fraudsters to exploit unsuspecting cricket lovers.
As of now, no official announcement has been made regarding ticket sales. Authorities have urged the public to be cautious, avoid suspicious links, and double-check URLs for misspellings or other red flags that may signal a fraudulent website.
Fans are advised to wait for verified announcements from official channels to ensure a safe purchase experience.
