Liverpool see red over refusal to replace stolen Cup final tickets

LIVERPOOL chief executive Rick Parry has criticised Millennium Stadium officials over their refusal to issue duplicate FA Cup final tickets following a raid on a Royal Mail van.

The theft took place in Liverpool city centre on Friday but the missing tickets for the showpiece event against West Ham on Saturday have since been identified and cancelled.

Fans who had paid for the tickets will not get replacements and police have warned against buying from touts as anyone with a stolen ticket is liable to arrest.
