Malaysia hosted Vietnam in the
final of the ASEAN Football Federation Suzuki Cup. Ticket were issued out both
direct and online. Some of the people waited one day earlier at the stadium.
The presence of people at the stadium is outstanding. Long lines queues as if
Malaysia is going to play that night.
At the date itself, the gate are
opened in the morning. After thirty minutes of selling, the counter delayed the
all the buyer saying they have some problem regarding the problem. After another
thirty minutes, the counter close and said that all the ticket was sold out
which is very much confusing because people have limits in purchasing ticket
and it is quiet impossible to be sold out in short period of time. Some of them
even fainted due to the exposure of heat.
The spark of this issue is when
people started to sell online. The price of the ticket sell by the reseller
reaches until RM900 per ticket which not acceptable. The reseller really took
the advantage of people needing to see the final because of the excitement. The
exploitation of selling the ticket with ridiculous price need to be address.
Further investigation had been
done to see further in this issue. YB Syed Saddiq, Youth and Sport minister is
contacted in order to solve the problem. Answering the issue regarding what is
happening in the industry, Syed Saddiq said he is aware of the issue and he is
trying his best to curb the problem. Saddiq said that the action of the
reseller is not ethical because they are exploiting the situation to their
advantage. He suggested that strict ticketing method should be introduce to
prevent reseller from buying huge amount of ticket and reselling it to other
consumer.
