Regarding this month's game, in which professional baseball team Hanshin clinched the league championship for the first time in 18 years, we learned that the Hyogo Prefectural Police Headquarters has received multiple inquiries about damage, such as "I bought a ticket on SNS but it was not sent." Police are also investigating suspected fraud that piggybacked on high-profile matches.
According to the Hyogo Prefectural Police Headquarters, on the 18th of this month, when the Hanshin Tigers clinched their first league championship in 14 years, two people including a man living in the prefecture contacted us about buying tickets for the match on SNS, but they did not send them to us.
Both of them exchanged with a person who claimed to resell electronic tickets on SNS and transferred about 2,2 yen per seat to the designated account, but they did not receive the QR code required for admission.
In addition, there have been other inquiries such as "I purchased it through a resale site, but I could not enter with the ticket sent to me."
Police are investigating suspected fraud that piggybacked on high-profile matches, and are calling for caution as the climax series is coming up in the future.
