JAKARTA With reports of fraudulent sales of Coldplay band concert tickets, the public is asked to be aware of the sale of cheap tickets whose background is not clear. This time, the police appealed to the public to be aware of the practice of fraudulent ticket sales, a match between the Indonesian national team against Argentina.

"Departing from the Coldplay concert ticket fraud case, we urge the public to be careful with fraudulent sales of football tickets between the Indonesian national team and Argentina," said West Jakarta Metro Police Chief Kombes Pol. M. Syahduddi, Antara, Thursday, June 8.

He said that people should not be deceived by criminals who act through the sale of fake match tickets.

He said the modus operandi of fraudulent ticket sales for Coldplay concerts, which has recently occurred, also has the potential to occur in ticket sales for football matches between Indonesia and Argentina.

"There is a possibility that fake tickets are sold through online platforms or social media. People are then attracted and buy tickets and then deceived. That's detrimental," he said.

So far, he continued, there have been no reports regarding the Indonesian football match ticket fraud case against Argentina to the West Jakarta Metro Police.

"We urge the public not to hesitate to report to the police if they find indications of fraud related to the sale of tickets to the match," said Syahduddi.

Previously, the All-Indonesian Football Association (PSSI) sold a total of 60,000 official tickets for the Indonesian national team against Argentina which were divided into three sales days, namely on June 5-7, 2023. Ticket sales on Monday, June 5 are specifically for BRI Bank customers and for the public on Tuesday, June 6 and Wednesday, June 7th.
