People paying for unofficial resale tickets to watch the Women’s Euro 2022 final on Sunday risk being turned away at the turnstiles, a money expert is warning.
England play Germany at Wembley in the climax to the tournament and Adam French, personal finance editor at The Money Edit website, advises fans that they would be better off watching the match at home if they cannot obtain tickets officially. He said: “Tickets for Sunday’s final at Wembley are in hot demand. But the risk is clear, you could pay hundreds of pounds for unofficial resale tickets and not get in.”
The Money Edit said those who missed out on the chance to buy a ticket for the final may have the legitimate option of finding a friend or colleague with tickets who cannot attend, if they are willing to transfer the tickets. However, tickets should be transferred before they “activate”.
The website also warned that fraudsters may try to sell duplicate print-outs of legitimate tickets or complete fakes.
A UEFA spokesperson told The Money Edit: “All tickets to the UEFA Women’s Euro 2022 final are issued by UEFA and are subject to strict terms and conditions which prohibit their unauthorised advertisement, resale or transfer.”
The spokesperson added that UEFA actively enforces its ticketing terms and conditions, including by monitoring the internet, and would take action, including cancelling tickets, where unauthorised advertisements are identified.
