2016 Summer Olympics ticket scandal

The 2016 Olympic Council of Ireland ticketing scandal was a major international sports controversy involving the illegal resale and price-gouging of corporate hospitality tickets allocated to the Olympic Council of Ireland (OCI) for the Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. The investigation exposed a complex scheme designed to bypass official licensing restrictions using a front company to funnel high-demand tickets onto the black market.
