UEFA have delivered a firm warning to fans looking to attend the final of their major European competitions, insisting that tickets on the secondary market may not grant them access to the stadium.
Liverpool take on Real Madrid in the Champions League final on May 28 in Paris at the Stade de France, with supporters of both clubs able to obtain tickets via access to their own ballot and from the UEFA official ballot.
Yet with tickets supposedly available on third party websites - such as livefootballtickets.com where prices start at a startling £2,797 - European football's governing body have released a statement warning fans that counterfeit tickets will simply not grant them access to stadiums.
