RFEF calls to "be wary of any unofficial ticket sales channel for the Copa final".

The Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) wanted to remind today that the only way to get tickets for the final of the Copa del Rey, to be held on May 6 at the Estadio de La Cartuja in Seville, are the official channels articulated by the finalist clubs and the Federation itself.

Real Madrid CF and Club Atlético Osasuna have established, in recent weeks, their own methods for the distribution of tickets among their members; and the Federation has enabled the appropriate means for this distribution, ensuring maximum security conditions.

Through measures such as the use of special thermal paper, or the use of validation codes in the purchase, in addition to the nominative character of the tickets, in order to minimize the risk of resale or ticket counterfeiting. In addition, the RFEF and the finalist clubs have been working closely with the State Security Forces and Corps in this regard.

To complement these efforts, the RFEF and the finalist clubs themselves want to insist on appealing to the fans to be wary of any way of obtaining tickets other than the one indicated. No online sales channel that does not depend on the RFEF, or that is different from those enabled by the clubs, cannot offer in any case valid tickets for the final. Likewise, any printed ticket that has not been received directly from the Federation or the finalist clubs should be distrusted.

Please exercise extreme caution in this regard, so as not to fall into the trap of those who may want to take advantage of football fans and make fraudulent business out of it.
