Tottenham Hotspur have imposed indefinite bans on several supporters after discovering that Liverpool fans had obtained tickets for the away end at Anfield, where they witnessed Arne Slot's team secure the Premier League title.

A number of Liverpool fans were denied entry to the stadium, while others were removed by stewards during the match.

According to Spurs, in each instance, the match ticket in question was initially allocated to one of their own fans.

Prior to the match, Spurs took proactive measures by making targeted purchases from unofficial resale websites to prevent further instances of Liverpool fans gaining access to the away end.

In a statement, Spurs declared: "The club has always been clear that the unauthorised resale of match tickets is strictly prohibited.

This is considered an offence under our sanctions and banning policy, and we have already issued points deductions this season to individuals who have passed or resold away tickets to fellow Spurs fans.

"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.

It also undermines the integrity of our ticketing point system and brings the Club's name into disrepute.

"As previously communicated, we operate a zero-tolerance approach towards ticket touting and all forms of unofficial ticket resale.

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 ticketCancellation of all match tickets – home and away – for the remainder of the 2024/25 seasonRemoval of all ticketing pointsIndefinite club ban – to be reviewed after three years

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

The Tottenham Hotspur Supporters' Trust has expressed its backing for the club's clampdown on ticket touting: "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."
