When a Singaporean couple visited Britain to fulfil their lifelong dream of catching their beloved Liverpool in action earlier this week, little did they know that it would almost become a nightmare.
Through Facebook, Muhammad Syahril, 33, and his wife Nurazila Suparman, 34, got to know a man in England who sold them two tickets for the home match against West Ham United on Tuesday morning (Singapore time) for £400 (S$720).
Tickets available from official channels had been sold out, so the couple turned to Facebook groups. But the tickets they purchased, which looked real, turned out to be fake.
There were no serial numbers and the couple also later realised that on the sides of the ticket, the English Premier League leaders were misspelt as “Liverpoool”.
But, after relating their plight on a Liverpool supporters’ Facebook group, they received a pleasant surprise.
Thanks to a crowdfunding campaign started by Kevin Doran, one of the group’s members, the couple managed to get genuine tickets to the Anfield match, which Liverpool won 3-2.
The couple shared their experience on Facebook yesterday, so that they could warn others.
