Prices are going up for those who want to see a Premier League match, especially in Liverpool. The Reds have made a spectacular crackdown on those who don't follow the rules.
Legendary English club, Liverpool has no trouble filling its no less legendary Anfield Road. The battle to obtain tickets to see the matches is still fierce, but the Mersey club has decided to take a big hit in the anthill to counter the numerous scams and illegal profiles carried out at the club's expense. Thus, the Reds press service announced spectacular results of its investigations into the illegal resale of tickets. First of all, 100,000 false accounts were blocked, from non-existent people or already registered people who were trying to obtain more tickets than authorized. As a result, 75 season ticket holders were banned from the stadium for life and 136 others received indefinite suspensions, pending the end of the investigation.
No appeal possible, Liverpool assumes everything
Tired of seeing subscribers resell their tickets at a high price on illegal sites, and thus allowing scams or digital fraud to take place, Liverpool has blocked nearly 6,000 active member accounts, whether individuals or bots (automated requests). The club reiterated its zero tolerance towards subscribers who resell their tickets on the internet, and invited others not to use any other means than the club's official platform. Liverpool have made it known that these decisions are final and cannot be appealed. A firm policy which aims to avoid scams, but also to favor those who have been waiting for a long time for tickets to go to the stadium, for a match or for a season, while the fraudulent system rather benefits ready “tourists”. to pay a lot of money to see a match during their stay in England, without necessarily being fans of the Reds.
