I agree. I would have expected the letter to start with your name too not Dear Account Holder but maybe I am being pedantic. And that it would be signed!

Scan it and email it to michael.yorke@liverpoolFC.com - he is the Ticket Investigation Manager and often picks up his emails later/early

But without any context it is hard to say. As others have said, have you lent your cards out?

It goes against what they said at the last Fans Forum on this. Just seems a bit fishy to me  :-\ although it does LOOK genuine - address, tel number etc

The letter is defo legit.

I’m defo never ever lending my card out again. And don’t expect anyone to lend to me on the exchange.

It’s just not worth a lifetime ban from the stadium. Touts have won.

came home to 2 of these in the post today and haven't got a clue why. did anyone else receive any
did they even inform you beforehand if you were under investigation?

Also have you passed it on to someone and they’ve sold it on?

There’s something dodgy about that letter. In my experience, the 10 should be written as ten and in bold.  Also it doesn’t go into detail as to what happened. It’s easy to fake a letter and then post it to an account holder.

did they actually give you a chance to put your side across while you were under investigation, and were your tickets for games bought valid whilst under investigation?

Was seasonal hospo yes it worked for most games but I wasn’t aware, I think in total out of 6 worked for half , took 3 months, had 2 30 minute phone convos with mike, including a conference call with club solicitor. I also had coffee meeting with him last game of the season. I put my side across was found innocent but was stressful.

cheers, if they are doing investigations and passing judgment without people getting a chance to put their side across (unless it’s blatant they’re a tout, like say they’ve got 50  registered to one address and they all use the same payment card) methinks the ticket office could end up in a bit of shit with the likes of the ombudsman, just need to piss off the wrong person and they’ll end up going to the papers/courts over their process

Maximum at one address is 4 I’m pretty sure it says on T&C before they ask for proof

would be interesting to know their process is for identifying them and how often they do a sweep as there are probably ways round it (e.g. put a space between/before and after the numbers, if the house number bit can be changed by text etc), payment cards is better way of spotting the dodgy ones

Yeh, but fv on them cent club is 250 odd, but only sold as season tickets. Porto you probably could get them for 150 each for decent hospo. Give you an example cheapest Carlsberg dugout hospo season ticket over the 25 home games we’ve had this season has been 140 average cost. Porto they were selling for 250 each still below the fv of £282 but they can afford to sell a game dirt cheap and make up on other games

How do you get a fv of a ticket that gives access to every game, you can only work out what the real fv has been at the end of the season ?

The T&Cs are here for anyone to reference: https://www.liverpoolfc.com/membership/terms-conditions
I'd also guess that's not the first letter - looks more of a follow up?

It’s a first letter but it’s linked to a wider investigation hence written like that

I did say it was.

If that was a fake, then it's the best fake ever created.

The letterhead is absolutely perfect. Well it would be, as it's legit.

I don't know how the system works so I am only guessing here, but I'm pretty sure the club don't have access to bank details i.e. they can't literally look at everyones account numbers and sort codes.

It will all be encrypted.

they should be able to see the payment method, last 4 digits and maybe the expiry date, at least if two of them match up there’s something to look into, if they have the expiry date as well that can help

they dont usually write the day of the week, only the date and it should have the name of the card holder, not account holder. official letters are usually signed as well !

@bedo you should of had a letter before this one telling you the reason your account was under investigation ?

There will be more than one template for letters at the club. It also depends who constructed the letter as well.

Yes, you'd expect it to be signed, but it doesn't mean it's fake.

The letterhead is perfect, there is no spelling/grammar errors at all. You can also tell by thickness of the paper as well.

Today at the Chelsea game they were checking tickets on the way into block U9, asking for ID, had a clipboard wonder if that had names of people who had notified the club they had transferred tickets as I gave a mate my card to use for the spurs game and emailed the club and got a reply saying that was fine.

Claire,

Touting seems to be a very hot topic at the minute, would it not be best to start a thread about it in the Ticket & Travel section to save it being in this thread?

We could name and shame the touts fellow reds come across and it may help our Club eradicate these vermin.
