In the build up to the big-ticket India v Pakistan World Cup clash, there were reports about apprehending people selling fake match tickets. There was a fear that though some touts and their fake tickets were caught and confiscated, there could be other such illegal tickets that had already been sold to unsuspecting buyers. And these fears came true when the electronic turnstiles at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad detected some dodgy tickets.

Every match ticket has a unique barcode, which is scanned by the electronic turnstile and only when a green light appears, is a person allowed to go through. If the light turns red, the ticket is not genuine. Some fake tickets may not be detected by naked eye, but the turnstiles will catch it.
