Hundreds of football fans here were left fuming and disappointed as some 30,000 Malaysia Cup final tickets were “sold out” in a matter of minutes yesterday.
A check by The Star at the Terengganu FA office revealed that fans, who had been queuing up since 8am, left empty-handed as the tickets were said to have been “sold out”.
Fans here were told that they could purchase the Cup final tickets for RM25 after the state government agreed to subsidise 50% of the cost of RM50 for local fans.
The subsidised cost was good news for the fans but questions remain as to how the tickets could have been sold out so fast.
Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Ahmad Said announced on Tuesday the decision to subsidise the tickets for the sake of football fans here following complaints that the tickets, priced at RM50, were too expensive.
Terengganu FA president Datuk Che Mat Jusoh had said that some 500 tickets were distributed to each state constituency and the remainder was sold at the Terengganu FA office.
