Barcelona have suspended nearly 3000 members for allegedly falsifying tickets for El Classico.

The suspensions, Marca claims, came about following a large operation involving 120 club staff, after which 2,823 fraudulent season tickets were seized, accounting for 3-4 per cent of total ticket sales.

Speaking about the issue in a press conference, the Spokesperson for the club, Josep Vives said:

“It is the largest and most forceful action against fraud and resale that has been carried out,”

“They are counterfeit entries based on a subscription with sophisticated means and methods to do something like that.”

Barcelona have now suspended the culprits involved with their season tickets withdrawn and given to other members in the waiting list.
