Councillor Andy Morgan said a friend paid for them on a website that no longer exists
A Bolton councillor has been left angered after his friend was conned into paying £380 for Peter Kay tickets off a bogus website that no longer exists. Coun Andy Morgan, a cabinet member on Bolton Council, said a friend had purchased the tickets from the website www.peterkaytickets.com ‘in good faith’.
They are both patrons of Bolton Hospice, a charity for which the comic has provided support from his early career right through to his emergence as the biggest box office draw in comedy history. Speaking to the Manchester Evening News, Coun Morgan, said: “I’m really disappointed that we have been scammed for Peter Kay tickets for Saturday.“A very good friend of ours bought us some tickets for Saturday at Liverpool and they have not arrived.
He said that highly organised criminal groups were setting up more and more very plausible fake ticketing sites and raking in the cash. "We reinforce our ticketing message on a weekly basis but still we get people turning up at our events crying their eyes out because they've put their hand in their pocket for a fake ticket", he said.
