TICKETS for the FIFA World Cup qualifier between Zimbabwe and Benin have been sold out on the platform Ticketpro, and are now selling on the black market at an inflated minimum price of R100.
The two teams clash in a Group C encounter at Moses Mabhida Stadium at 6pm today (Thursday), in what is a do-or-die clash for the Warriors.
Fans who spoke to Zimpapers Sport say they have resorted to buying tickets on the black market to ensure they watch the showdown.
“I was personally surprised. We think some people just bought all the available tickets on the platform for resale.
“It happens a lot and sometimes you have to buy at the stadium. I’m yet to buy mine,” said one Blessed Katiyo.
Zimpapers made an effort to try and book a ticket using Ticketpro and the platform showed the message “we could not find (one) ticket available in unreserved”.
“Obviously it’s a big gamble for those that bought the tickets. They bought at R50 and expect to make 100 percent profit. They may end up selling them at the stadium at giveaway prices if they don’t find buyers.”
The Warriors game has attracted much interest in South Africa, with some Warriors fans travelling for the game to Durban to give the team maximum support.
