Eurovision Song Contest ticket scalpers are reselling their passes for extortionate amounts.
Tickets went on sale today and while thousands managed to secure a place in Liverpool, countless missed out. The grand final event was the first to sell out but hopeful fans were met with technical issues and problems throughout their wait, sending them to the back of a 2000+ strong queue.
In an attempt to cash in on the desperation, resellers are listing their tickets for thousands of pounds more than their retail value. One listing on Viagogo has a grand final ticket on sale for £11,800 for a single pass.

Multiple new accounts made today on Twitter also appear to be selling tickets with the same copied and pasted message being advertised, which many are assuming are fake.
People locked out of the show are unimpressed with the immediate cash-grabbing attempts, with one upset fan saying: "15 f****** thousand dollars for a Eurovision resale ticket. How is this more insane than Beyonce and Taylor Swift combined."
Another added: "It's so disgraceful that that is allowed. It's very obvious that anyone who gets a ticket and immediately resells never had any intention of going. Their ticket should be revoked."
Ticketmaster confirmed tickets for all nine shows were sold out by 12:40pm.
