CA puts stop to scalpers

CRICKET Australia has recovered almost 3000 scalped tickets for December’s Ashes Test in Perth.

CA said the 2890 tickets were being sold on eBay for the third Test of Australia’s series against England.

The tickets will be placed back on sale through CA channels next Monday in what the sport’s governing body is a warning to scalpers.

“This is a very clear message to those who try to take advantage of the system,” CA’s Anthony Everard, said in a statement.
