Tickets to England’s first knockout match of the Euro 2020 tournament are being flogged online for up to £10,000 by internet touts.
Football fans were allocated the tickets through a lottery system, and those who cannot attend are allowed to sell their seats only at the price they paid via the Uefa app.
They must also only sell them to people they’ve registered as friends and family.
However, some supporters are reportedly trying to flog their seats for extortionate prices on secondary ticketing websites.
They then register the buyers as their friends within the app to pass on the electronic tickets.
This goes outside the Uefa reselling rules and football fans have been urged to avoid buying tickets on these websites “like the plague”.
The Times found one website selling tickets to the England game for £10,000.
The newspaper claims the resale website didn’t have any positive reviews on Trustpilot, and some customers had complained about tickets not arriving at all.
Another website advertising seats at Wembley was founded by a man implicated in a ticketing scandal at the London Olympics.
The sellers on the websites highlighted by the newspaper also didn’t list the face value of the tickets, any restrictions on its transfer, and the seat number - something which is required by consumer laws.

Viagogo and StubHub don’t have any tickets available for the match.
Adam Webb, founder of The FanFair Alliance, said: "There are three facts everyone needs to know about so-called secondary ticketing websites.
“First, they are typically registered overseas and are set up specifically to target British consumers ... Second, they tend to operate in open breach of UK consumer protection laws.
“And third, the tickets on these platforms are predominantly listed by large-scale touts, some of whom do not even possess the tickets they are selling.”
The Three Lions are due to play against Germany in front of 40,000 fans at Wembley this Tuesday, following their 1-0 victory against Czech Republic this week.
It’ll be their biggest international match at Wembley since they lost to Germany on penalties in the semi-finals of Euro 96.
Due to capacity limits, the stadium will be less than half full compared to its 90,000 capacity.
Group stage and last 16 tickets for games at Wembley were originally priced at €50 (£40) for a category 3 seat, €125 (£105) for category 2, and €185 (£160) for category 1.
