Cricket fans appear to have tried to sabotage Ashes ticket auctions on eBay, with bids as high as $20,099 deemed “fake’’ and cancelled by several sellers this morning.
Hundreds of Ashes tickets have popped up on eBay after thousands of fans were left fuming yesterday because they missed out on the sought-after tickets, despite being part of the Australian Cricket Family [ACF].
Many complained that English supporters had hijacked the ACF system, which was supposed to ensure Australian fans had a chance to purchase Ashes tickets ahead of their English counterparts.
