'The boys are distraught. It's their dream and they are devastated.'
A NI couple who wanted to fulfil their sons' dream of watching the Liverpool team play at Anfield were left heartbroken by a ticket scammer.
Mum Edele told the ECHO her husband was introduced to the unknown man through his work as a bathroom salesperson and once talking, was offered to chance to buy four tickets. Facing initial issues with their Airbnb, Edele said more stress came when they had still not been sent the tickets they bought, despite repeatedly trying to contact the seller."Even today [Tuesday] my husband has been trying to contact this man but he's not responding...Both Seth and Jack have been life-long LFC supporters, with Edele supporting Liverpool ever since she met her husband.
Edele continued: "We'd urge people to be very careful, we heard a family from Belfast caught the ferry last week, the tickets were on the father's phone, but when they went to scan it, it wouldn't work. If it wasn't for the kindness of two strangers who gave their tickets, the wee boy was crying outside.
