By David Kent Touts have scammed football fans out of hundreds of pounds by passing off free tickets for a Hillsborough disaster memorial service as tickets for a game between Liverpool and Swansea. The tickets were tampered with to make them look like they granted entry for last Sunday's fixture and sold for up to £100. But fans were left disappointed when they found they had actually been sold free tickets issued for a memorial service to mark the 25th anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster, in which 96 people died.
