Adele tickets on Scarlet Mist - beware scammers

Written on Fri 04 Dec 2015

Adele tickets have been very oversubscribed, and we know there is a great unmet demand for them.

So we think anyone advertising tickets for sale now is likely to be a scammer. We can think of no other possible explanation why anyone who managed to fight their way through the queue would want to sell their tickets so quickly. Unless they are fraudsters or touts. Or complete billy no-mates.

We will be permitting sales of Adele tickets three days before the events in order to allow for genuine sales.

Oh, and we’ve already had one attempt at a scam this morning.

I completely support your stance but:
‘anyone advertising tickets for sale now is likely to be a scammer. We can think of no other possible explanation why anyone who managed to fight their way through the queue would want to sell their tickets so quickly. Unless they are fraudsters or touts.’
- or they bought the first ticket available and then managed to upgrade - happens all the time on fan forums - with that panic scrabble of buying we cannot always choose the seat we REALLY want - buy a good one before it goes, keep trying for that one we wanted then if we get it we have a seat to get rid of - face value to another fan…
I want to throw that in here and I do not want it to be in anyway undermining your efforts - as I said - I completely support you.

What you say is very true. Shame that the lowlifes spoil it for everyone.

It’s embarrassing knowing that there are still scammers who are trying to profit from innocent people.

To address this issue, the organizers have decided to permit sales of Adele tickets only three days before the events to allow for genuine sales and minimize the chances of scams. They are taking proactive measures to protect potential ticket buyers from falling victim to fraudulent ticket sales.

What you mention is absolutely correct. It’s a shame that the scumbags ruin it for everyone else.
