Liverpool to punish fans selling Champions League final tickets online

Liverpool have vowed to sanction any supporters found to be reselling tickets to Saturday's Champions League final with the club calling on social media companies to shut down more than 50 accounts and groups found to be offering seats for the showdown with Real Madrid in Paris.

The club said that it has identified 13 supporters who have attempted to resell tickets for the game at Stade de France and they will work in conjunction with Merseyside Police. Liverpool were given fewer than 20,000 tickets for the match with fans having to enter a ballot.

UEFA held a separate ballot of their own for about 10,000 tickets with fan groups critical of the number of sponsors and officials who will be given seats for the biggest game in club football.
