Spurs ban fans for selling Champions League final tickets

Tottenham have given "indefinite" bans to three fans who tried to sell their tickets for the Champions League final against Liverpool.

Three Tottenham season-ticket holders listed the seats for the showpiece at the Wanda Metropolitano stadium in Madrid on a secondary market site.

But they are not allowed to resell the tickets, leading Tottenham to issue the bans.

"The club has this week issued indefinite bans to three season-ticket holders who have listed their UEFA Champions League final tickets for sale on a secondary ticketing platform," a Tottenham statement read on Tuesday.

"We shall look to take the strongest possible action against anyone found to be engaging in such activity – including indefinite season-ticket bans," the statement says. 

It goes on to say "please do not ruin one of the biggest occasions in the club's history by selling on your ticket and profiteering from fellow Spurs fans."

The north London club have been allocated just 16,613 tickets for the all-English final on June 1, meaning many fans will miss out to get a seat in the 64,000-capacity arena. 

Tottenham Hotspur Supporters' Trust last week issued a joint statement with Liverpool fan group Spirit of Shankly imploring sponsors of the competition to give up tickets.
