Ticketmaster has issued a warning over fraudulent ticket sellers falsely claiming to represent the company.
It said a Dublin-based fake ticket seller is promising fans advance tickets and/or tickets for last-minute collection from the venue on show night that do not exist.
“Unfortunately, some fans have already lost large sums of money to this individual,” Ticketmaster said.
It’s calling on “all concert, sporting, theatre and festival goers to be extra vigilant for fraudulent ticket sellers falsely claiming to represent the authorised ticket agent (Ticketmaster)”.
The company says it’s working with An Garda Siochána, adding that enhanced security and ticket verification arrangements are being implemented for all forthcoming events.
“Verified tickets can only be purchased directly from the official authorised agent Ticketmaster.ie and not bought through a third party,” Ticketmaster said.
Anyone who has bought fake tickets as a result of the situation or who has any information about it is encouraged to report it to Gardaí.
