Desperate Australian soccer fans risk forking out thousands of dollars for phantom tickets as the black market threatens to take hold of the World Cup.

The Herald Sun has found some Australian tour companies are using overseas ticket brokers and travel agencies to on-sell tickets, despite warnings from FIFA to go through proper channels.

Unfortunately, it seems the time has come. And it is only the beginning. So, pay a lot of attention where you buy your tickets and it is adviceable that you should follow the oficial path FIFA announced.
