"The club has
this week issued indefinite bans to three season-ticket holders who have listed
their UEFA Champions League final tickets for sale on a secondary ticketing
platform," a Tottenham statement read on Tuesday.
"Once again, we
wish to remind all our supporters that any ticket purchased is for the sole use
of the individual that purchases it from the club.
"Transferring
or selling tickets on unofficially breaches our terms and conditions and is
against the law.

to take the strongest possible action against anyone found to be engaging in
such activity - including indefinite season-ticket bans.

"Please do not
ruin one of the biggest occasions in the club's history by selling on your
ticket and profiteering from fellow Spurs fans."

Hotspur Supporters' Trust last week issued a joint statement with Liverpool fan
group Spirit of Shankly imploring sponsors of the competition to give up
tickets.
