LFC calls on social media companies to act and sanctions fans selling UCL final tickets

The club has also identified 13 supporters who have offered their tickets for Saturday’s game against Real Madrid for sale online.

Those fans have had their tickets cancelled, while their accounts are in the process of being investigated further, with the possibility of added sanctions to follow.

The move comes following a recent warning reminding supporters to buy tickets from official sellers only.

The club received an allocation of 19,618 tickets for the all-ticket fixture at Stade de France in Paris this weekend.

There has unfortunately been an increase in the number of fans being defrauded, online in particular, by fake match ticket offers. If any supporter is offered a ticket online, they should report it to LFC here - and to Action Fraud.

Liverpool FC will not stand idly by and watch people try to sell tickets they have been fortunate enough to get access to via the ballot.

All reports of ticket touting, or online ticket fraud, will be investigated in line with the LFC sanctions process. If a supporter has been found to have offered a ticket for sale online, this could result in a lifetime ban for that individual.

The club is also encouraging supporters to be diligent when providing any personal or payment details to persons they do not know.

Liverpool FC continues to work closely with Merseyside Police and, where possible, will pass on the details of any supporters who have offered a ticket for sale online.
