Leicester punish fans who sell black market tickets

April 18, 2016 10:32

The Premier League leaders have banned some fans from their stadiums for years after selling tickets for their last game at inflated prices.

A few days ago, some Leicester fans put up tickets for the match against Everton, the last match of the season for Claudio Ranieri and his team. With the “Foxes” having a great chance of winning the title, these tickets were sold for up to 21,350 USD per pair and sold out in less than 90 minutes.

Leicester said they would investigate the incident. Yesterday, the club revealed they had imposed multi-year stadium bans on fans who sold tickets for profit.

"The club has a duty of care to its supporters and works hard to prevent black market ticket sales. We also encourage supporters to report any such behaviour," Leicester said in a statement.

The Foxes are seven points clear of Tottenham with just five games remaining in the Premier League. With Leicester set to complete their magical run at home to Everton at the King Power Stadium, many would love to be there.

"A number of season ticket holders have been handed multi-year stadium bans, preventing them from attending Leicester City matches or buying tickets for any of the club's games. Their membership of the season ticket holders has also been revoked," Leicester said in a statement.
