Liverpool release urgent Carabao Cup final ticket advice after Wembley issues

Liverpool have issued advice to fans who are having ticket issues at Wembley Stadium for the Carabao Cup final.

The Reds face Chelsea in the final of the competition, as Jurgen Klopp looks to win his eighth major trophy as the club's manager. Liverpool defeated Fulham in the semi-final to reach the Wembley showpiece, while Chelsea saw off Championship outfit Middlesbrough over two legs.

It was confirmed last month that Liverpool and Chelsea would each receive 32,196 tickets for the final. However, less than two hours before kick-off, the club was forced to issue ticket advice to supporters.

Numerous Liverpool fans have taken to social media to explain that they had issues accessing the stadium. It is believed the issue is around the digital tickets sent by Liverpool, specifically the barcodes/QR codes used to gain access to the stadium.

Liverpool's X account, formerly known as Twitter, posted an update shortly before 2pm to issue advice to supporters.

"If your ticket is showing a barcode, please remove from the wallet and re download from the original email," the update from the club read. "The ticket should then show a QR code which will allow entry into the turnstile."

Sunday's win at Wembley is Liverpool's second opportunity to win the Carabao Cup during Klopp's tenure as manager. The Reds needed a penalty shootout to win the trophy back in 2022, where they defeated Chelsea in the process.

Klopp named his starting line-up to face Chelsea in the final, with two changes made from the midweek win over Luton Town in the Premier League. Ibrahima
