Counterfeit tickets for the away section at the Veltins Arena have been circulating ahead of the 150th derby between FC Schalke 04 and Borussia Dortmund on Saturday.

According to Schalke Tickets, those affected are tickets in blocks V and W which were apparently offered via the "Ebay small-ads" platform at a price of EUR 50 per standing ticket.

The counterfeit tickets may have some of the following characteristics:

  • The template that has been selected for the counterfeit tickets carries a picture of Schalke player Max Meyer on the paper ticket itself.
  • The colour blue is not the colour of the original.
  • The primary difference is the fact that the tickets are cut rather than perforated.

Those with counterfeit tickets will be refused entry at the gates. (br)
