UEFA Euro 2012 Tournament Director in Ukraine Markiyan Lubkivsky has said that counterfeit ticket holders will not be able to get into stadiums during the Euro 2012 matches.

"There won’t be such a situation during Euro 2012. There are various technologies to prevent counterfeit ticket holders from getting into the stadium. I won’t divulge these technologies," he said in Warsaw onMarch 13 , when commenting on the situation that occurred during the Dynamo-Arsenal Ukrainian Cup match at the Olympiysky stadium, when counterfeit ticket holders tried to get into the stadium.

At the same time, Lubkivsky noted that turnstiles at the Olympiysky national sport complex were sophisticated both in terms of software and capacity.

"There is no big problem here. The issue is the proper distribution of fans between the turnstiles. I want to say that the cordon for passage to the Olympiysky stadium during Euro 2012 will be farther than they were, for instance, during the Dynamo-Arsenal match. So the fans will pass gradually, they will know how to come through. Stewards will work not only inside the security perimeter, but outside," he said.
