Reds fans may get refund after ticket debacle

DISGRUNTLED fans of Liverpool who paid top rates to get to the Champions League final in Athens will be able to get a refund from their travel agent if they missed the game, industry bosses said last night.

Hundreds of Irish fans paid sports travel firms up to €2,300 each for flights, hotels and entry to the match but were left outside the ground when promised tickets failed to turn up.

About 300 to 400 die-hard Irish supporters travelled to Athens for Wednesday’s game with one firm, Bernie Travel, of Tullamore, Co Offaly, but were fuming when they learned hours before the match there were no tickets.
