Culprits attempted to enter Wednesday’s Hyatt Lime fete with fake tickets and counterfeit handbands, but none were successful, Urban Development Corporation of Trinidad and Tobago Limited (UDeCOTT) chairman Shankar Bidaisee confirmed yesterday. There have also been no reports of cyber-attacks to obtain fete tickets.
Bidaisee, who attended the fete and purchased his VIP Diamond Ticket for $4,617.20 out of his own funds, said, “As occurs annually, there were instances of people trying to enter with fake tickets and handbands, which are used to verify purchase. But there are no reports that anyone succeeded. Measures are being stepped up to prevent these increasingly innovative attempts.”
