BERLIN: Four days before the football World Cup final, tickets for the match in Berlin were selling on the black market for 10 times their original price.

"It is going for 1,500 euros ($1,900) at the moment," a dealer who declined to give his name said in Munich where France and Portugal were playing each other on Tuesday night for a place in the final against Italy.

The young man, who says he started selling tickets even before the championship kicked off here on June 9, was offering last-minute tickets for the semi-final for 600 euros a pair.

A second trader confirmed that a ticket for the final would cost "at least 1,500 euros".

By Sunday though, they said, the price for tickets to Berlin's Olympic Stadium will have dropped dramatically to about 600 euros a piece.

Though FIFA has tried to avoid black-marketeering by printing spectators' names on their tickets, the dealers said the system was far from foolproof because tens of thousands of people attended each match.

"It is not possible to check because of the sheer size of the crowds," the first dealer said.

He said he has done a roaring trade during the tournament and that his best customers were Mexican fans followed by the English and Argentinians.

"One day I made 12,000 euros. That was with the Mexicans. They come from far but they are also the biggest spenders."
