Saudi Arabia Regulates Match Ticket Sales and Links Them to Buyer Identity
Published
Saudi Arabia has announced new rules to regulate the sale and resale of match tickets. These rules aim to protect the public and ensure that tickets reach fans in a fair and safe manner.
According to the new decisions, the sale and resale of tickets are limited to organizing bodies and approved platforms only. Each ticket must also be linked to the buyer's identity, and a cap has been set on individual purchases, meaning that no person may buy more than a specified number of tickets.
The new rules prohibit selling tickets outside official platforms, and they establish clear controls for reselling tickets and requesting refunds. Sources did not provide full details about penalties or the date on which the decisions will take effect, so fans are awaiting official clarifications from the competent authorities.
This step comes at a time when public interest in attending matches is growing. The new regulation aims to reduce the manipulation of ticket prices and prevent the unofficial market. Fans are advised to rely only on approved platforms when purchasing tickets.
