Liverpool Fans Most Affected by Ticket Scams

A recent report from NatWest Bank has revealed that Liverpool supporters are the most frequent and highest-paying victims of ticket scams in the English Premier League for the 2023/24 season. Last season, Liverpool fans lost over £17,000, equivalent to approximately $22,000, to ticket-related fraud. Arsenal supporters closely followed, losing about £12,000 or $16,000 during the same period. The report, dubbed the ‘League of Ticket Scams,’ highlights the financial toll ticket fraud has taken on fans, with the average loss amounting to £180.66 each season for those affected.

The report indicates that the peak of these scams occurred in April 2024, during which time criminals stole nearly £9,926 from unsuspecting fans. Among the reported cases, one Liverpool fan suffered the highest loss, totaling £850, or around $1,115. Furthermore, a Newcastle United supporter reported losing £846.50, approximately $1,110, emphasizing the widespread nature of these scams across various fan bases. The significant losses illustrate the vulnerability of fans eager to attend matches, especially as excitement builds towards the end of the season.

Stuart Skinner, Head of Fraud Prevention at NatWest, urged fans to be vigilant as the new season approaches, noting that the actual value of ticket scams could be much higher than reported, as many incidents go unreported. Skinner emphasized that social media platforms need to take a stronger stance against fraudsters exploiting fans’ passion for football. The report underscores the importance of awareness and caution among fans who are eager to secure tickets for their favorite teams.

To help prevent falling victim to these scams, NatWest has provided eight tips for fans. Recommendations include purchasing tickets only from official sites or reputable resale platforms, verifying sellers when using secondary markets, and being cautious of deals that seem too good to be true. Fans are also advised to use secure payment methods, check for secure website indicators when buying online, and report any suspected scams to banks and law enforcement.
