Tottenham Hotspur say they have handed out indefinite bans to a number of supporters after Liverpool fans ended up buying tickets for the away end at Anfield so they could see Arne Slot’s team crowned Premier League champions.

A number of Reds supporters were blocked from entering the stadium while several others were ejected during the game by stewards and Spurs say in every case the match ticket they possessed was initially issued to one of their fans.

Spurs also say that before the game they made a number “targeted purchases from unofficial resale websites” to prevent further instances of Liverpool fans gaining access.

Spurs said in a statement: “The club has always been clear that the unauthorised resale of match tickets is strictly prohibited.

“Forwarding away tickets to fans of the home team is considered a particularly serious offence as it creates uncomfortable and potentially unsafe environments for supporters who have purchased their tickets legitimately.

We have therefore identified the supporters whose tickets were purchased from resale websites, and those whose tickets were found in possession of home fans, and will be issuing the following sanctions to each:

Immediate removal of season ticket Cancellation of all match tickets – home and away – for the remainder of the 2024/25 season Removal of all ticketing points Indefinite club ban – to be reviewed after three years

"We have written to each supporter individually to confirm these sanctions.”

.

The Tottenham Hotspur Supporters’ Trust said: “We support the club’s efforts to crack down on ticket touting at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and for away tickets, where demand vastly outweighs supply.

Selling or passing on tickets is unfair to fans who would otherwise have qualified for an away ticket or have been able to buy a home one.”

Spurs are gearing up to face Bodo/Glimt in the first leg of their Europa League semi-final on Thursday night, a tie that will decide the future of head coach Ange Postecoglou following a dismal domestic campaign.
