Not really mate, I don't want to name check on here as I am sure the people of importance are aware of it and also I am just taking an educated guess that this is what is going on. The people doing it are not exactly business-savvy, and are absolute morons, so it is obvious in my opinion

There are 2 I know of and I still see them at away games so the club musn't have got them yet, but they are 100% massive touts and so happened to have opened up small businesses.

Good to hear

I know who your talking about. The club know about them. They go on other people’s tickets

Was two lads in front of me that had like 30 cards in their possession in the 300s on Sunday. Overheard him saying to one of the guys he touted to that he could sort flights + ticket for Porto away for the kid.

What worried me more is he definitely was racially mocking the guys he sold to to his mate (I spoke to one and he was Filipino, the rest were South Asian of some sort).

The Norwegian lady next to me said they paid £500-odd per ticket for about six of them. She genuinely seemed surprised that we all had paid face value  :o

Ultimately, mike just investigates, the final decision etc lies with Neil Morgan and his team. The likelihood is the person is known to the club, can’t hold anything is there name but nothing stops the, getting cards in random names.  Eventually they will get nicked. The police r watching touts, andit’s about gathering intel for the police. Especially when they now ask for passports from the ppl they fleece before handing over cards.

Got in early for the Spurs game - an hour before. I reckon that must have sold out on multiple credits? (So not a Cat C free for all).
Yet in the Kop, nearly everyone around me 1 hour before was taking a picture, not knowing where seats are etc. These are not singles/pairs. These are quite often groups. It's entirely obvious.


And that's nothing I've not said before, but I'll get to my point.


My point being - I was thinking to myself. There are 4 home games left. We could win the title for the first time in nearly 30 years. Why cash in? Why sell your ticket?

And it got me thinking. At the scale it's now at - this isn't even match-going fans making the odd few quid anymore is it. It's full on not even attempting to go the game and nothing to do with being a fan of LFC. It's a pure money making exercise.

Someone from the club should just sit at the back of the Kop and have a watch. It's laughable.

so they get their fancard back as if you lose it twice in a year it’s cancelled so to prevent them doing a runner, surprised they aren’t taking their address and family details

Good, that sort of shit is going to cause someone a serious problem from a genuine mistake of losing a card at some point, way beyond the grifter outside the ground with a couple of tickets to flip.

i was in the main by myself for a game a while ago and got in very early and there were loads of people who were blatantly tourists with what looked like the same card wallet with a piece of paper in it saying where the seat is, stewards were helpful to them and pointed out where to go (as much as I despise the touts and the people who help that industry prosper I don’t like kicking the buyers out) but they must know about this and that it’s a pretty big scale thing, esp with the posts from daindan

Not for me...that ticket is potentially priceless. And no I'm not flush with cash, £10K would be life changing for me.

The thing is from outside it looks impossible to go to a prem game due to them seeing on tv that the stadiums are full all the time. Alot of them think that the only way to buy tickets is second hand especially with second hand tickets being advertised with a quick google search. By someone casually looking on the LFC website and seeing that the games are always sold out, you wouldn't even dream that one ticket randomly appears every now and again. I don't blame the buyers to be honest.

I've got family in Portugal and when i tell them about the hours I spend refreshing they think i'm crazy due to it being so accessible to buying tickets for the portuguese league.

Loads round me who, let's just say clearly hadn't been to any previous CL games.

Could be hospitality of course, but then if you would pay hospitality prices, you'd pay tout prices.

None by me in 202 (also wondering if they found that block in 202).

Lots of people who couldn't find their seats (which makes me think its there first time there) as its not hard to work it out yourself.

Interesting. Matches exactly what a few have said on here about taking personal things (passport, driving license) as collateral.

At least with touting it's an approved transaction between 2 parties that know what they are getting in to based on supply and demand - and someone can enjoy their day and someone enjoys the money.

Selling a fake is really low for me. That's horrible.

Problem here is if your a first time match goer from abroad  you get your ticket, hand over your passport. Ticket doesn’t work , you’ve lost your money, not got in and you’ve lost your passport.

I don't get why someone selling a fake ticket would need your passport etc.

If you've sold them a fake ticket the last thing you want is them coming back to find you for their passport afterwards

I thought that

I assumed it was more so you brought the card back and didn’t risk telling the club so you get your passport back
