Liverpool and Rangers fans have been urged not to travel to finals in Paris and Seville without tickets

FANS OF BOTH Rangers and Liverpool have been warned not to travel to Champions League and Europa League finals without tickets this month. 

Liverpool will play Real Madrid on the 28th of May in Paris, whilst Rangers will play Eintracht Frankfurt in Seville on the 18th of May. 

UEFA, football's governing body for both competitions has stated that there are significant security risk around ticketless fans looking for tickets after what happened Euro 2020 final at Wembley last summer. 

Aleksander Ceferin, the UEFA president has admitted those scenes were "unacceptable" and should never be allowed to happen again. 

UEFA in a statement said:  "UEFA actively enforces its ticketing terms and conditions, including by monitoring the internet, and will take action (including cancelling tickets) where unauthorised advertisements are identified. 

"Fans should also be aware that third parties offering for sale tickets on the internet are often not in possession of the tickets which they claim to have for sale, despite demanding exorbitant prices for such tickets. 

"In addition, UEFA is conscious that the demand for tickets to the finals may result in counterfeit tickets entering the secondary market, as has occurred at previous finals. Fans are advised that any such counterfeit tickets will not gain entry to the stadiums. 

"Whilst UEFA understands that there will be fans who have been unsuccessful in their application for tickets, fans are strongly advised not to travel to the finals without tickets or purchase tickets on the secondary market. 

"In order to maintain the safety and security of fans, ticket holders should be aware that checks will be carried out at the finals and the local authorities in the cities will take action against the unauthorised resale of tickets."
