There are plenty of high-profile headlining concerts in the UK this summer, from Beyonce’s ‘Cowboy Carter’ tour to Oasis’ long-anticipated reunion shows. Besides the ongoing issue of ticket touting, concert-goers face the possibility of being scammed and discovering they’ve bought fake tickets.
Earlier this year, Ticketmaster released an official warning to fans planning to attend any concerts this summer. They encouraged hopeful buyers to purchase tickets on official sites only.
If you have experienced buying fake tickets for a live event, we’d like to hear from you. Which social media platform or website did you find the tickets on? What was your experience like and when did you realise the tickets you bought were not real? How much money did you lose and were you still able to attend the event you hoped to go to?
