The Sun reports that around 100 fans misunderstood the clues leading to the tickets, such as, "They are close to somewhere beautiful" and "Could have been an ancient burial site."
The misguided Directioners thought the prize was hidden in Liam's yard, and arrived at his house to look under flower pots and wheelbarrows!
The two tickets to tonight's (March 22) show in Birmingham were later found taped to the back of a road sign.
A source reveals the fans spent quite some time in Liam's garden. Luckily, his father is laughing off the mixup.
"His dad rang the show to say he was relieved the competition was over as fans were mooching around the lawn," the insider says. "Geoff saw the funny side of it, thankfully."
DJs Nigel Freshman and Cat James from Free Radio in the West Midlands apologized to Liam's dad for the confusion.
