UEFA Independent Inquiry

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Yep. It tallies quite well. The only thing I would ask is whether they actually are in possession of all those 2800 fake tickets that we assumed were scanned successfully? I think that would be unlikely as it would involve having to go into the stands to confiscate each one, so when they say "found" it could be that they don't physically have them but the technology has found the fakes that were scanned in and they've been cross referenced with all the genuine ones that were denied access?

Yeah, it’d be hard to identify them as they’re not real tickets, so the information they hold on their system will be the real people’s data, not the blaggers.

They’d have to identify each person via CCTV in the stadium. That take forever to try and track down 2,700 Norwegians.

This kid is at every big match going, he's been to a fair few of ours. I've no idea how he does it but this is his take on the game

He keeps saying he's experienced it first hand but then says he didn't see it but there's plenty of videos to see everything that went on. Make your mind up. Talks about all tickets on the app so why were so many with paper tickets. Maybe local lads were involved but how many were we talking about, 250? Doesn't explain why thousands were outside around the ground who had no reason to be near the stadium

200 local lads trying to jib in and 2800 fake tickets causing the denial of entry to 2800 real ticket holders plus an unspecified number of other fake ticket holders.
Wonder what caused a bigger problem?

2700 refunds to be issued to genuine ticket holders who missed out according to this article. That broadly squares with the 2800 fake tickets that were purportedly found:

UEFA to compensate 2,700 Champions League ticket holders

European football's governing body UEFA has undertaken to "compensate" 2,700 ticket holders who were "deprived" of the chance to see the Champions League final between Liverpool and Real Madrid, France's Sports Minister said Monday.

If that is true, and presumably it must be easy to check the no-shows, then who were the thousands of other people outside the LFC gates?

He says he had tickets from PlayStation so went in an different way.

He also says it was the wrong ground to pick but couldn't come up with an better suggestions. He is just an attention seeker who often gets tickets from unofficial sources and is part of the problem with football these days prevention real fans of clubs going.

Here in lays the problem, the allocation for both sides for a champions league final will be no where near big enough to satisfy demand even in a stadium the size of the Stade De France. Get rid of the corporates and day out tickets which no one to do with either club has access to, also bring the cost per ticket down. Unfortunately both won’t happen as the champions league final is a lucrative money maker for an inept football administration which is Uefa.

There is a saying: Be careful what you wish for.

I think this might apply to Littlewoods in this case.

There's a group of these kids all at games doing these blogs and they seem to get the best seats at a lot of big games. When he went in the ground the girl there was at our game against Villa doing a blog, next week she's at the champions League final.

So how many people with genuine tickets actually lost out then, do we have a figure yet ?

I reckon 50k minimum
