August 08, 2025

FOOTBALL fans are being urged to watch out for ticket scams when buying match tickets for the upcoming 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.
