8 scalpers caught selling fake tickets at F1 Shanghai
Print Edition
Eight ticket scalpers were caught on Saturday selling fake tickets for the F1 Chinese Grand Prix over the weekend, Shanghai police said yesterday.
They will be detained for five to 10 days due to “disturbing public order,” police confirmed. The first two of the eight were caught at 9:30am near the main ticket entrance. Plainclothes officers spotted them approaching people and selling three tickets for 3,000 yuan (US$450), almost double the price of authentic tickets. Police immediately apprehended them. The other six scalpers were caught outside the Metro station at the circuit and ticket entrances. They usually struck a verbal deal with an interested customer and then took the person somewhere else to purchase the tickets, police said. Those who bought tickets from the scalpers realized the tickets were fake only at the entrance.
