    Ticket touts at Malaysian F1 Grand Prix in Sepang?

    Went to Shanghai F1 Grand Prix last year and there were lots touts selling tickets for less then 1/2 face value at the circuit.
    Is situation in Sepang similar?
    Would be interesting to hear from people who went last year.
    Cheers!

    I noticed this at Shanghai (3 years back) and also at the Zhuhai A1GP race this year, I think there could be 2 reasons they are being sold at half price.

    1. The organisers have handed out a bunch of free tickets to fill the stands and some recipients who are not interested in the event want to make a few bob.

    2. They are forgeries

    Not sure about the situation at Sepang, I'm sure there will be touts but possibly not offering tickets at half price.
