Earlier, Khaleej Times reported that fake tickets were already being sold for highly coveted matches like the India-Pakistan clash on September 14.

Some were even 'sponsored' websites being displayed at ideal locations on the Google search page.

Their ideal location on the search page makes it much easier for an unsuspecting fan to click on the website and fall victim to a scam. One website is offering a single 'VIP' pass for over Dh11,000. Other reselling websites are also offering the passes at inflated rates.

The body said that a formal announcement on ticket sales will be made soon by the Asian Cricket Council and Emirates Cricket Board.
