What we could not confirm
- ticket.ady.az and the ADY app as sales channels, and the 'sell out in minutes' report, were not verified; the APA article names no sales channel.
- Whether Iranian citizens may buy; one undated source said only Azerbaijani and visa-free nationals.
- Whether ADY has resumed Tbilisi-to-Baku sales through agencies.
- Whether the service is still running in November 2026.
- 12Go's Caucasus coverage, so there is no referral link.
