Hong Kong police have arrested five men for allegedly selling counterfeit tickets to concerts by Cantopop star Andy Lau through various online platforms. The suspects, aged 18 to 45, were apprehended between December 27 and January 3, and more arrests are possible. Police say the counterfeit tickets were very realistic, making it difficult for the average person to detect the fakes. The suspects allegedly sold the tickets for HK$2,000 to HK$5,000, with a total amount involved exceeding HK$80,000.

“The confiscated counterfeit concert tickets were very realistic. It would be very difficult for the average to verify from the font, anti-forgery features and the paper used,” Tai said. Hong Kong police said the force received 20 reports regarding the counterfeit tickets, with their investigation leading to the arrests. The suspects allegedly sold the counterfeits for HK$2,000 to HK$5,000, involving a total amount of over HK$80,000, said a police spokesman.
