Belarus did not trade ‘not for sale’ free tickets, Belarus’ Sports Ministry says.

Belarus did not receive free tickets provided for the National Olympic Committees of Belarus and Russia, the Ministry of Sports and Tourism of Belarus reported.

Yesterday, Norwegian police seized 1,000 Olympic Games tickets sold at black market.

Initially, the tickets were provided for Russia and Belarus Olympic committees for free. 500 tickets were tried to be taken to Norway by a citizen of Poland. Some 400 tickets were seized from a parcel.

All free tickets were marked ‘not for sale’.

In spite of law enforcement agencies’ work, black market of Olympic tickets is thriving during every Olympics.
