Recent correspondence from officials at ICC Cricket World Cup West Indies (CWC WI) 2007 Inc. headquarters in Jamaica has resulted in four out of five websites desisting from this practice.
“We have been receiving reports about websites that were purporting to offer tournament tickets and, with the assistance of our internet monitoring company, we have been able to contact these websites and inform them that their actions were in breach of our commercial rights,” explained Alanna Medford, project officer ICC CWC 2007.
She added that ICC CWC WI 2007 Inc. would continue to be vigilant – using internet searches and other methods – to detect infringements.
“The use of the official tournament marks, such as the logo, is reserved solely for Official Global Partners, Official Sponsors and licensees of the tournament,” said Medford.
Tickets are not on sale until May 1 and will only be available through officially authorised ICC CWC 2007 ticket centres and the tournament website: www.cricketworldcup.com
“Tickets which are purchased through unofficial channels may be deemed invalid, meaning that the purchaser would be unable to enter the stadium,” warned Medford.
