The AFL Event Office has cancelled the barcodes of a range of corporate hospitality tickets just days out from the grand final after its portal was hacked.
[NOTE - it is barcodes that have been cancelled, not tickets. Affected ticket holders have been emailed tonight. Barcodes will be reissued.]
The event office handles corporate tickets – the smallest allocation for the grand final at the MCG on Saturday. Those involving Before the Bounce, Crown Grand Final Breakfast, Grand Final Plus Pass, Hassett Room, Ultimate Nobu, and Ultimate Suite packages have been impacted.
...
It is unclear how many of the tickets were accessed legitimately, with all cancelled barcodes to be re-issued later in the week.
...
The AFL said the relevant ticket holders have been told to delete their tickets as their barcodes would no longer work for Saturday’s sold-out grand final.
Club members, AFL members, MCC members, Medallion Club members, corporate suite holders, September Club members, and club and AFL stakeholders were not affected.
...
Fans are always strongly advised to not purchase tickets from anyone but Ticketek, the AFL Event Office or an authorised hospitality agent,” the AFL said.
