£2.5m stolen from supporters since last season as football scammers exploit ticket frenzy
-
Football fans are being urged to watch out for ticket scams when buying match tickets for the new Premier League season, as a bank estimates that £2.5 million has been lost in recent years.
Victims lost an average of £218 each last season, according to Lloyds.
More than 2,400 cases of football ticket fraud were reported by Lloyds customers over the past two seasons, with total losses topping £500,000.
The bank estimates that nationally there are likely to have been at least 12,000 victims since the start of the 2023/24 season, with more than £2.5 million stolen by fraudsters.
Supporters of Liverpool are most likely to have been affected, followed by fans of Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea and Manchester City, Lloyds' figures indicated.
