TicketsLFC warns fans following recent rise in ticket scamming
Liverpool FC has seen a worrying increase in the number of innocent supporters scammed into buying fake or non-existent tickets for home games in recent weeks.
As a result, the club would like to reiterate the places where fans should purchase Anfield tickets from in order to guarantee they are genuine.
All general admission tickets should be purchased from Liverpool FC only. For more details, go here. LFC also sells official hospitality direct to supporters here.
The club’s official match break partners – and their sub-agents, which are listed on their websites where applicable – are the only other places to guarantee the purchase of official LFC hospitality tickets.
Below is a list of LFC’s official match break partners and the hospitality area they provide official tickets for. More details can be found here.

The Anfield Beat Lounge
The Code Lounge
Nordic Leisure Travel Group and Sportsbreaks.com

LFC supplies these agents with genuine hospitality tickets, and these packages are sold as match breaks with travel and/or at least one night’s hotel accommodation.
The club’s investigations and sanctions team has also seen increased issues with a number of closed ticketing groups on various social media platforms, including Facebook and Snapchat, even where the title of the group claims ‘No Scammers’.
