The association on Sunday advised the public not to buy tickets from resellers, adding that it “cannot guarantee” the authenticity of tickets resold on social media and online platforms.
Checks by CNA found multiple listings for tickets for the match on e-commerce platform Carousell. Most listings had more than one ticket up for sale, with prices ranging from S$60 to S$95.
Tickets for away fans will go on sale on the day of the match from 3pm. Away fans will also be ejected from the venue if they are found to be seated in the sections reserved for home fans, FAS said.
The first leg of the semi-final will kick off at the 6,000-seater Jalan Besar Stadium at 9pm on Thursday.
Fans online have expressed their dismay at the match taking place at a smaller stadium. One user said that FAS should have taken measures to secure the National Stadium in advance.
The switch in venue follows a late tournament schedule change that saw the National Stadium unavailable for this match and the rest of the tournament, having already been booked for concerts during this period, FAS said on Saturday.
