The law on ticket touting in respect of football matches was amended to cover internet transactions within England and Wales in the Violent Crime Reduction Act 2006. Prior to that amendment, internet ticket touting was not a criminal offence. Detailed information on football-related arrests and convictions has been collated by the Football Banning Orders Authority since the football season 2001-02 when the existing banning order framework was introduced. The following table provides details of convictions in respect of ticket touting offences.
