AYY has been informed of cases where forged tickets or wristbands had been sold to the Aalto Afterparty 2017 event, held on the 8th of September 2017. The people at the door noticed the forgery when inspecting tickets. Due to security regulations, we unfortunately could not let the holders of these tickets inside.
AYY regrets the inconvenience caused by the situation. We also hope that the party or parties who sold the tickets will understand that their activity was reprehensible both legally and morally.
As a result, AYY has changed the practices related to selling and distributing tickets and wristbands. We also hope that people who buy tickets from others would be alert in the situation and buy their tickets directly from ticket sales or from a person they know and can identify if needed.
We are looking into the matter together with the Aalto University Security Services and the Western Uusimaa Police Department. If you know something about the issue or have purchased a forged ticket or one you suspect to be forged, please contact Producer Niina Palm (niina.palm@ayy.fi).
