Member of FIFA caught ticket touting!

Just when you think you can trust officials from any dodgy business, the World Cup begins.

Yes that’s right, an official for the World Cup 2006 has been told off by big FIFA daddy Sepp Blatter. Selling tickets for 3x their price was the crime, a serious one indeed after they have been working so hard to stop ticket touts, then one of their own pulls off this little trick, bad move.

The person in question has admitted to carrying out the activity and has packed his bags and headed home with a first class ticket, and yes, I mean the plane ticket, not a World Cup one!

"I am very disappointed about the conduct of a member of the FIFA Executive Committee," said Sepp Blatter.

"In such a situation, FIFA acts immediately and firmly."
