But scalpers at the Araneta are also expected to proliferate. The NBI said that more people that are likely to turn to scalpers for tickets, even if the original selling price is doubled or even tripled.
A security guard of the Araneta Coliseum and five others were arrested last Sunday for “scalping” during the Final Four bout. Twenty-five tickets were confiscated from the scalpers.
