'Would have meant the world': Fans disappointed, scalpers resell sold-out Singapore-Thailand football tickets

Singapore's home football team, the Lions, faced disappointment after tickets for their semi-final match against Thailand were quickly sold out on their availability. Regular football attendee Goh Zun Rey, 19, expressed that tickets for his younger cousins would have been a cherished experience, but with limited availability, their hopes were dashed.

Fans expressed their dismay at being unable to secure tickets, with some resorting to selling them on online marketplaces at exorbitant prices. The Football Association of Singapore (FAS) confirmed the tickets were sold out, emphasizing its distaste for unauthorized resale and discouraging supporters from purchasing through unofficial channels.

The Lions' fans, however, rallied together, urging people to report scalpers and stressing the importance of genuine fans supporting their team.
