Story summary

The Premier League lists over 50 unauthorized ticket-selling websites, including StubHub and Vivid Seats, linked to Chelsea owner Todd Boehly.
They operate from Spain and Dubai to evade UK laws due to the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act's limited reach.
BBC Sport's investigation found tens of thousands of tickets, priced from £55 to £14,962, often above face value.
The practice is widespread in English football and appears unlikely to be curbed.
