"Fake Tickets" To Blame For Champions League Final Delay, Says UEFA
The Champions League final between Liverpool and Real Madrid in Paris kicked off over half an hour later than scheduled having been delayed due to "fake tickets which did not work in the turnstiles" UEFA said on Saturday. The match was supposed to kick off at 21:00 (1900 GMT) at the Stade de France but got pushed back due to the queues of fans who could not get in due to the fake tickets. "In the lead-up to the game, the turnstiles at the Liverpool end became blocked by thousands of fans who had purchased fake tickets which did not work in the turnstiles," read UEFA's statement.
