June 17, 2010, 14 years ago
The Sofia Echo's Nick Iliev reports:
Strong interest in the Sonisphere Festival, Sofia Rocks (featuring METALLICA, SLAYER, MEGADETH, ANTHRAX, RAMMSTEIN, etc.), will see agents from the National Revenue Agency (NRA), along with police, deployed in and around the Vassil Levski national stadium, conducting inspections before the June 22nd - 23rd concerts, Bulgarian media reports.
All entrances at the Vassil Levski national stadium will be staffed by agents who are set to conduct "thorough" and "meticulous" checks on tickets. The investigation will be ongoing during the Park Live festival and Sofia Rocks festival.
Reportedly, NRA agents will be deployed at Sofia airport's Terminal 2 where the Park Live festival will be held. Additionally, NRA agents and police will monitor the number of people passing through turnstiles at the national ground and will investigate the authenticity of tickets and passes for entry. They will also assess and report on revenue generated from the concert.
Police and inspectors will also target people outside the ground trying to pass on fake tickets or tickets at inflated prices. Retailers outside the ground who sell souvenirs, umbrellas, drinks and food, or any other merchandise, will also be inspected.
