Liverpool have revealed they have hired private investigators to help them clamp down on ticket touts.
Anfield officials are determined to transform how fans purchase tickets as they seek to make Anfield affordable for all fans.
They recently launched a fan forum on the subject of ticketing in which various items were discussed regarding the issue.
Now they have moved to take action on ticket touting with dedicated club staff teaming up with private investigators who specialise in tracking ticket touts.
That saw them discover a number of culprits and in the process, the club has suspended these individuals from buying tickets and attending games at Anfield.
The club is also introducing several measures designed to stop and hinder the sale of tickets at prices beyond face value.
Peter Moore, Liverpool’s CEO, said: “Behind the scenes, we are working extremely hard to try and eradicate ticketing touting to protect our supporters from getting caught out with fake or unofficial tickets.
“One way to help immediately is to stop purchasing tickets from unofficial sources.
“We will continue this work and are committed to looking at new ways how we can help to stop this illegal trading.”
