Cops Nab Georgia Pair In Alleged $1K Fan Shakedown At Miami World Cup Match
Two Georgia men were booked after deputies say they used fake FIFA credentials to charge fans up to $1,000 at Hard Rock Stadium during a World Cup match.
Two Georgia men are accused of turning a packed World Cup match at Miami Stadium into their own personal cash grab, allegedly flashing fake FIFA credentials to hustle fans for access during Wednesday’s Brazil vs. Scotland game.
Deputies say the pair slipped into the venue with bogus passes, then worked Section 135 while more than 65,000 spectators filled the stands, charging as much as $1,000 per person for entry. The arrests are the latest sign of a growing wave of ticket and credential scams swirling around the tournament.
