Official tickets for tonight’s match have sold out but thousands of tickets are now available online creating huge worry that fans are going to be left out of pocket.
Consumer rights expert, Adam French, issued an urgent warning to fans via The Times.
He said: "We're seeing a number of websites and secondary ticket sellers offering tickets for sale.
"But there's no guarantee they will get their tickets or entry to the match if they buy from an unofficial seller and they could be left seriously out of pocket.
"Anyone who isn't lucky enough to get their hands on a ticket through the official website might be better off enjoying the game in a fan zone or with friends and family."
England manager Gareth Southgate believes his men are more prepared for a semi-final this time around after losing out to Croatia at the 2018 World Cup.
Southgate told BBC Sport: “We are better prepared for this semi-final in that we’ve lived it before. We’ve had another two semi-finals prior to this one.

“And although that doesn’t determine winning or losing a game of football, there are a lot of factors that we are aware of and we have dealt with before that help you to prepare in a better way.”
He added: “The opportunity to bring happiness and create brilliant nights for our fans, our nation, is a very special one that you have when you play with England.
“England matches are events that bring families together, that bring communities together, and they are matches that you remember where you were.
“Some of the nicest messages you get are that people appreciate how the players have been – that they feel they can connect with them – they should be very proud of that.”
The Three Lions are bidding to reach their first final at a major tournament since 1966.
Tonight’s game will be shown live on ITV. Kick off 8.00pm
