Three Arrested for Attempted Fraud over Suspected Scalping of Kai Tak Sports Park Opening Ceremony Tickets
疑炒賣啟德體育園開幕禮門票 三人涉企圖詐騙被捕
The Kai Tak Sports Park will hold its opening ceremony this Saturday (1 March). The 8,500 electronic redemption vouchers, priced at $10 each, sold out within half an hour of going on sale earlier. Tickets offered by scalpers for as much as $2,000 have also appeared online. Police today arrested three people for attempted fraud, saying they had been reselling tickets online. Two of them did not even possess electronic redemption vouchers and could not have exchanged them for physical tickets to enter the venue; “the so-called electronic admission tickets they were selling simply did not exist.”
啟德體育園本周六（1日）舉行開幕禮，8,500張10元的電子換領券早前開售半小時已售罄，網上更出現索價2,000元的黃牛票。警方今日以企圖詐騙拘捕三人，指三人於網上炒賣門票，其中二人更連電子換領券都沒有，不可能換取到實體票入場，「所謂出售嘅電子門券根本並不存在」。
