PSL warns fans about buying fake Cup final tickets
The Premier Soccer League is working closely with South African Police and several other security role players to ensure that the 2018/19 edition of the Nedbank Cup between Kaizer Chiefs and TS Galaxy is safe and secured.
The final will take place on Saturday at Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban (start 7 pm).
SAPS will deploy a huge contingent in and around the stadium. Among the activities being monitored is the illegal resale of ticket and sale of fake tickets.
At the previous Cup final at the venue, eight people spent a night in jail after they were arrested for selling fake tickets and reselling tickets.

Tickets for the match were sold out in less than 24 hours.
The League, together with SAPS, have urged people who do not have a match ticket to stay at home and rather watch the match live on SuperSport and SABC.
As part of the stringent security measures around the stadium, scanners will be used at all the entry points and those caught with fake tickets face arrest.
Gates will open at 2 pm and the first 10 000 supporters to arrive at the stadium will receive Nedbank Cup goodies.
