Stay safe from a cruel summer: be alert to ticket fraud ahead of this summer’s top events 🎟️
Festival and concertgoers looking to get last-minute tickets to this summer’s top events are urged to be on their guard against fraudulent sellers, as new data reveals £6.7 million was lost to ticket fraud last year.
Last year more than 8,700 people reported they had been a victim of ticket fraud, with a total of £6.7 million lost. This works out to an average loss of £772 per victim.
Protect yourself from fraud, only buy tickets from the venue’s box office, the promoter, an official agent (like Kaboodle) or a well-known and reputable ticket exchange site.
Kaboodle is a member of Society of Ticket Agents and Retailers (STAR). As a ticket agent, we’ve signed up to their strict governing standards in order to sell tickets.
