STAY SAFE THIS SUMMER FROM TICKET FRAUD

18-04-2024
0 shares

According to new data, £6.7 million was lost to ticket fraud in 2023 in the UK
alone. Action Fraud, the national fraud and cybercrime reporting service, has
launched a new ticket fraud awareness campaign, warning people to be alert to
fraudsters trying to catch out people planning for popular and sold-out events. 

Follow our top tips to avoid falling victim to ticket fraud.

According to new data, £6.7 million was lost to ticket fraud in 2023 in the UK
alone. Action Fraud, the national fraud and cybercrime reporting service, has
launched a new ticket fraud awareness campaign, warning people to be alert to
fraudsters trying to catch out people planning for popular and sold-out events. 

How to protect yourself from ticket fraud:

 * Only buy tickets from the venue’s box office, official promoter or agent, or
   a well-known ticketing website.
 * Avoid paying for tickets by bank transfer, especially if buying from someone
   unknown. Credit card or payment services such as PayPal give you a better
   chance of recovering the money if you become a victim of fraud.
 * The password you use for your email account, as well as any other accounts
   you use to purchase tickets, should be different from all your other
   passwords. Use three random words to create a strong and memorable password,
   and enable 2-step verification (2SV).
 * Be wary of unsolicited emails, texts or adverts offering unbelievably good
   deals on tickets.
 * Is the vendor a member of STAR? If they are, the company has signed up to
   their strict governing standards. STAR also offers an approved Alternative
   Dispute Resolution service to help customers with outstanding complaints. For
   more information visit star.org.uk/buy_safe.

If you think you’ve been a victim of fraud, contact your bank immediately and
report it to Action Fraud online at actionfraud.police.uk or by calling 0300 123
2040, or call Police Scotland on 101.
