Eurovision fans say they were kicked out of Ticketmaster minutes before tickets even went on general sale.
Thousands of people are expected to descend on the city in the second week of May as Liverpool plays host to the huge musical event.
Ticket prices range from £30 to £290 for the semi-final shows and from £80 to £380 for the grand final shows. Around 3,000 tickets for those who fled their home country when Russian troops invaded last February will be subsided by the Government and will cost £20.

Tickets went on sale at midday today (March 7) via Ticketmaster, with a "waiting room" option people could join ahead of queuing from 12pm. From around 11.50am, many Eurovision fans commented on errors on the website.
People struggled to enter the waiting room and were redirected. Others were also advised to stop using the app, and use a browser instead.
A Ticketmaster spokesperson told the ECHO: “A very small number of fans experienced issues accessing the queue. Ticket sales were unaffected, and thousands of fans secured their seats for the Eurovision Song Contest, which is now sold out.”
Eurovision fans need a Ticketmaster account before they can buy tickets - for one show at a time. They will be able to buy up to four tickets per purchase for the live shows and six for the preview performances.
Outside the official Eurovision shows, there is a two-week cultural festival in Liverpool called EuroFest, which will include free events and see collaborations between artists in the UK and Ukraine.
