Liverpool issues 75 lifetime bans and shuts down 100,000 fake ticket accounts in ticket touting fight

Liverpool has announced the closure of 100,000 fake ticketing accounts and issued 75 lifetime bans as part of its efforts against ticket touting. Additionally, 136 indefinite suspensions were implemented last season. Most bans were linked to unauthorized sales of season tickets and memberships. The club warned fans to purchase tickets only through official channels due to a rise in online fraud. Currently, 5,670 accounts are under review for suspicious activity, including those connected to recent fraud charges. Liverpool canceled 1,500 tickets last season, which were then made available for resale.
