Women's Euro 2022 final tickets 'risk' warning issued ahead of England vs Germany

Fans have been warned regarding ticket scams and unofficial resales ahead of this Sunday's Women's Euros 2022 final, with huge demand for tickets for England's match against Germany.

The match takes place at Wembley Stadium and is likely to become the highest attendance ever at a European Championships match, with Wembley being the second largest stadium in Europe, with a 90,000 capacity.

The highest attendance for a women's match in the UK remains the 80,203 who were at Wembley for the Olympic final between the United States and Japan in 2012.

As ever, with big events there is huge potential for scammers and unofficial resalers to exploit the high demand for tickets which often takes place with events as big as Sunday's final. The Lionesses have been outstanding in this year's tournament but face a strong Germany side who have won the competition on a record eight occasions.

Adam French, who is personal finance editor at The Money Edit website, said: "Tickets for Sunday's final at Wembley are in hot demand." He added. "But the risk is clear, you could pay hundreds of pounds for unofficial resale tickets and not get in."

The Money Edit suggested that should fans be unable to get hold of tickets through official channels then the best option would be to find a friend or relative who has tickets and get them transferred to their name. There was also the reminder for fans to take photo ID, in case additional checks are needed on the day.

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."

Tickets on resale websites are being advertised way above face value, with the cheapest ticket on one website priced at nearly £150, while some premium seats are priced at almost £900..
