The coveted final tickets have ended up being traded on the black market at amazing prices.
Police in Norrbotten are now investigating several cases of fraud.
It’s horrible for it to happen this way, says Stefan Enbaum, CEO of Luleå.
Tickets for the seventh and decisive match were sold out within a few minutes.
Luleå is playing her biggest game in 26 years and pressing for places at the Coop Norrbotten Arena is really tough.
Today, the club discovered several tickets circulating on the black market, selling for thousands of kroner.
We are now beginning to cancel tickets for those who have sold or tried to sell tickets at a higher price. Reselling tickets is a violation of the terms of purchase, so we act as quickly as possible. It will also affect those who bought tickets at a higher price. So never buy like this! Luleå’s director of communications, Robert Hedlund, wrote.
At least three cases
As a result of the ticket chaos, many cases of fraud ended up with the police.
“On Wednesday, the police at short notice dealt with a number of cases of fraud on the buy and sell site. Tickets for tomorrow’s hockey game between Luleå Hockey and Färjestads BK were sold out and people who wanted to buy these tickets but did not get any tickets. Three cases were identified on the The least is related to fraud and will be investigated further,” the police in Norrbotten wrote on their website.
The club helps with help
Luleå CEO Stefan Enbaum says the club is helping with police work and condemning people selling tickets at exorbitant prices.
– We have several employees with us who worked with us all day. We have tried to survey the entire market, collecting tips on selling tickets at exorbitant prices. We received a number where we were able to buy back tickets.
– It’s terrible that it happened this way and that people are trying to make money from it.
Will the club take action against the people?
– We didn’t have time to think about it. The most important thing for us now is to get the tickets back and that those who tried can’t make money from it. If we take action, we’ll talk about it after the final is played.
