Ticket fraud often involves the use of images and graphics taken from genuine sellers to make fake websites look like the real deal
The PSNI has revealed that almost 200 cases of ticket fraud were reported in Northern Ireland last year alone.
He said: "It can be so tempting to get caught up in the hype, and rush to have that must-have ticket for that sold-out gig, but you should never buy tickets from unknown websites or people you do not know. “In particular, I would ask parents buying tickets for kids and young adults going to a concert, and those who make a last-minute decision to go to a concert, to be extra cautious when buying your ticket. Too often, we see reports of tickets that don’t appear at all, or are just screenshots of genuine tickets that won’t get you any farther than the ticket barrier.
