Five Liverpool fans are facing the prospect of lifetime bans from Anfield for illegally trying to resell Champions League final tickets for up to £4,500.
The supporters have been identified by the club's investigations team who have been closely monitoring online secondary ticketing platforms.
Serial numbers on the tickets have enabled the Reds to trace them back to who they were initially sold to.
Now a full investigation will follow with the cases heard in front of a sanctions panel. If found guilty the five fans will be handed indefinite bans from matches at Anfield.
Tickets for the final showdown with Tottenham in Madrid on June 1 are spread across four pricing categories with a face value of £513, £385, £154 and £60. However, the tickets under scrutiny were being offered online for between £2,500 and £4,500 each.
Liverpool have the power to cancel tickets for the final if it's proved that they have been resold and have warned that anyone buying from a secondary ticketing market may not get into the Wanda Metropolitano

If someone who is a ticket holder can no longer make it to the venue for whatever reason then he/she must not resale the ticket for five times its face value. If its for genuine reasons then just return the ticket and be refunded.

Unfair judgement. This happened in the world cup and nothing was done.Teams in the lower division broke rules and points are deducted, whilst Man City broke them and nothing was done. Sad day for football.Money talks is the final analysis.

Total Rubbish. How is this an issue? The buyer never complained but football board are already attacking.... Racism has been looming in football throughout this season,no reasonable sanction have come up on the culprits and the club's responsible but it's just a poor fan who can no longer make it to see the match your heavily after on😐😐RUBBISH

Liverpool and Spurs can buy all their tickets and then resell them at the price their fans wish. Not so difficult. And they are certainly making enough money after reaching the final.

Good! I’m all for passing on at face value but massively profiteering is killing it for real supporters .
