Coldplay will be staging four concerts in Portugal next year
and tickets sold out in record time. Now
people looking to make a profit online are illegally reselling tickets online
for highly inflated prices.
If the tickets on sale cost between 85 and 500 euros, there
are tickets are now being resold now at 1,700 euros, on the Viagogo platform, according
to Jornal Económico.
The resale of a ticket can only be done at the same price at
which the customer purchased it. Otherwise, you may be incurring a crime of
speculation, punishable by a prison sentence that can range from six months to
three years. ASAE told Jornal de Notícias, that it is aware of this practice
and revealed that it has already opened investigations into some of the
reported situations.
