Three people have been hit with banning orders for touting Liverpool tickets.
An operation between Merseyside Police and Anfield officials led to the prosecution of the men selling fake and inflated price tickets outside the stadium.
Michael Poole, from Bootle; Matthew Fleming, from Belle Vale and Stephen Beck from Fazakerley will not be allowed to enter the local area for up to three years.
A further five people have also been arrested and remain under investigation
They include two men from Walton, aged 34 and 48, a 20-year-old from West Derby, a 36-year-old from Kensington and a 49-year-old from Anfield.
Community Policing Inspector Graeme Rooney said: “We believe that the vast majority of these offenders are targeting visitors to the city, who may not always be aware of what a genuine ticket looks like, and have travelled far and spent big to watch their team.
“Regardless of distance travelled though, to be conned in this devious way is completely unacceptable and the feeling of being turned away at the turnstiles must be absolutely devastating.
“Our operation will continue on future matchdays, working closely with the club. Although we’re pleased with the results so far, we also want this to serve as a powerful deterrent in the future.
“We’ll keep identifying ticket touts and doing all we can to prevent them from ruining people’s experience of football and the city.
“Liverpool welcomes many thousands of tourists every week and we are determined to ensure that those who come to our city are protected from such fraud.
“Our advice to any supporters is clear: don’t buy from ticket touts, it’s a massive risk and you might just be throwing money down the drain.”
Any can report information to officers at the game, pass information via @MerPolCC, 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111, or via the club’s online form.
