Tickets for the Malta-Italy World Cup match are selling for €204.50 on online marketplace Viagogo, €129.50 more than the most expensive tickets sold officially.
The MFA confirmed that almost all the tickets for Tuesday’s game had been sold.
A seller on Viagogo is advertising tickets in the area for Italy fans at €150, plus a €22.50 booking fee, €27.95 for “shipping” and €4.05 for VAT.
The Italian FA took 400 tickets from the MFA for the Italian section of the stadium, of which it distributed 180 to corporate sponsors. Only 36 Azzurri supporters purchased tickets for the game through the FIGC, raising the prospect that many supporters from Italy will have purchased cheaper tickets in areas reserved for Maltese fans.
