The Truth About Fake Tickets: What You Need to Know to Stay Safe

According to a report by Lloyds, one of the UK’s leading banks and financial institutions, thousands of young fans fell victim to fake tickets last season. What’s more, football ticketing fraud is on the rise again this season, with forgeries up by a third compared to the 2023-2024 campaign. It’s a worrying trend that’s sounding the alarm for everyone involved in the game.

How the Scams Work

Scammers often use social media to target unsuspecting fans. They’ll post about having tickets to sell, claiming they can no longer attend the match and don’t want the tickets to go to waste. To make the offer seem genuine, they’ll even send fake receipts or tickets as “proof.”

Thinking they’ve bagged a bargain, victims transfer the money electronically—only for the scammer to vanish into thin air, like Houdini after a magic trick. Reports suggest victims lose an average of £170, with some losing over £1,000 in the process.
