Fears have been raised that tickets in the away end are being illegally sold to Liverpool fans ahead of Sunday’s title party at Anfield.
Arne Slot’s side need just a point against Tottenham Hotspur to be confirmed as Premier League champions, with tickets circulating on resale sites for as much as £1,290 – including a number in the area designated for Spurs supporters.
Tottenham have warned supporters they risk sanctions on their season-tickets if found guilty of ticket touting for the game.
A Tottenham spokesperson told The i Paper: “We will seek to identify any supporter who has sold their ticket and, once identified, will take the strongest possible action against them, up to and including a ban on their season ticket.”
Liverpool are on the verge of title No 20 (Photo: Reuters)Fans sitting in the wrong areas at stadiums has been a flashpoint across English football all season, with authorities fearing it jeopardises the safety of supporters and raises security concerns with the clubs unable to identify who is in which seat.
Only Spurs season-ticket holders with 254 or more loyalty points – accrued by attending matches and renewing each season – were able to buy away tickets for the trip to Anfield.
At face value, they cost £30 but prices are being inflated with Liverpool fans desperate to be in attendance to see their side win the league.
Premier League clubs universally advise fans to only buy tickets through official channels to avoid scams, with fake tickets and dynamic pricing fleecing supporters.
The i Paper understands Tottenham are aware of touting in the run-up to this weekend’s game, with tickets also being advertised on social media platforms.
According to Spurs’ official policy on reselling tickets, punishments for reselling tickets range from a ban on accessing future tickets, bans on attending games and in extreme cases, “a permanent ban and cancellation of season tickets and all associated benefits, without refund”.

There has been a long-standing issue of tickets being transferred unofficially to fans that do not qualify via the loyalty points system, with the club warning in 2019 that “as a result, genuine supporters are denied the opportunity to support the team away from home”.
Liverpool are on the brink of sealing a 20th title that will draw them level with Manchester United’s record after Arsenal dropped points in Wednesday’s 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace at the Emirates.
The last time the Reds won the Premier League in 2020, they lifted the trophy in an empty stadium due to Covid restrictions and were unable to host an open top bus parade in the city. That makes the significance of Sunday’s match, should they avoid defeat, all the greater.
Spurs, meanwhile, have little to play for as they head into the weekend 16th in the Premier League but mathematically safe from relegation.
The focus of their season has turned to the Europa League semi-finals against Bodo/Glimt, which take place across 1-8 May.
Ange Postecoglou’s side last travelled to Anfield in February’s Carabao Cup semi-final, when Spurs took a 1-0 first leg lead to Merseyside but lost the second leg 4-0 without a shot on target.
