Liverpool fans whose FA Cup final tickets were stolen will not receive duplicate versions for the Millennium Stadium showpiece event, confirmed the English FA this afternoon.
Around 1,600 tickets were stolen following a raid on a Royal Mail van last week in Liverpool, with Reds chief executive Rick Parry looking to work with the FA to resolve the problem.
However, fans who had paid for the tickets for the clash against West Ham will not get replacements and police have warned against buying from touts as anyone with a stolen ticket is liable to arrest.
