Game 1 of the Korean Series, in which an unprecedented suspended game was declared.


Fans are still anxious because of the rain forecast today.

In Gwangju yesterday, a man who was trying to sell tickets ahead of the first game was caught at the scene.

A man in his 40s was caught trying to sell back tickets purchased for 35,000 won at the entrance of Gwangju Kia Champions Field at around 5 p.m. yesterday before the start of the game for 150,000 won.

Not only on the spot, but also on the online second-hand trading platform, people are continuously posting messages about buying and selling tickets for the Korean Series.

It's absurd, but there's also an article saying that I'll buy a ticket to the Korean Series for 100 million won.

It is often offered several times the price of
and actually traded.

Until August this year, more than 50,000 suspected cases of ticket sales were received at the online ticket reporting center for professional sports.

However, the reality is that there is no way to stop it under the current law.

Under the current law, only illegal tickets using the 'macro program' are specified as punishment,
Even if
is cracked down, all it takes is to pay a fine of up to 200,000 won under the Misdemeanor Punishment Act,

The man who was caught in Gwangju yesterday was also fined.

As much as the pouring rain, scalping tickets that pour cold water on baseball's heat, and measures to break the hook seem necessary.
