SCALPERS are again making a killing on UAAP finals tickets, with street resellers saying several fans have agreed to pay as much as P8,000 for a seat on the patrons’ row for the La Salle-Ateneo Game Three on Sunday at the Araneta Coliseum.
The original price for a patron ticket is P450, but fans are willing to pay much more.
“Ok lang naman sa kanila magbayad, meron nga nag-alok sa akin bibilhin niya anim na libo daw, may iba magbabayad ng walong libo,” said a man who peddles tickets outside the stadium.
“Eh ang kaso kahit kami wala din makuha, ano ibebenta namin? May mga suki kami nagtatanong na sa amin, pero wala kami makuha,” he added.
One ticket seller on street noted that as soon as it was announced tickets were available, patron and lower box sections were sold out.
“Sa ganitong panahon nahihirapan din kami makakuha kasi ‘yung mayayaman na alumni ang dami na agad kinukuha,” he said.
