In a new Home Office announcement, Gig-goers have been urged to be wary of scams when purchasing last minute tickets on social media after Action Fraud report shows £1.6 million was lost to concert ticket fraud in 2024.

Stop! Think Fraud:-

1. If you're offered tickets for something in high demand don't let the fear of missing out rush your decision. Take a moment to stop, think and check if the offer is genuine.

2. Only buy tickets from the venue's box office or an official ticketing website.

3. Never move away from an official payment platform to make a direct payment via bank transfer or virtual currency. Use the site's recommended payment methods to stay protected.
