The Kann Corporation today informed L'an, chosen in the tender for the sale of Eurovision tickets, it must stop the sale after supervision and control systems on behalf of corporation management raised suspicions of irregularities and defects in the sale process carried out by L'an.
"The corporation's monitoring systems identified an attempt by various parties to intervene in the sale process and raised the finding that hundreds of thousands of tickets, worth hundreds of thousands of shekels, and the best places in the hall, were sold to senior communications and sports officials in place of the general public, in contravention of corporation board directives," the Corporation said.
Final tickets, sold in the first round of sale, sold out within minutes. Kann Corporation announced sale of the tickets is frozen until the matter is examined and if it is found that tickets were sold illegally the Corporation will work to return them to their original destination - the general public.
