As another big tour is announced, another ticketing scam site is exposed.
Stereoboard.com has identified a highly suspicious looking website, www.olly-murs-tickets.com, which has been targeting unsuspecting Olly Murs fans to part with their hard earned cash.
Should you choose to buy from this website, it is likely you will find yourself going around in circles trying to get an answer on where your tickets are right up to days before the gigs. You'll eventually realise you've been scammed.
The website, www.olly-murs-tickets.com, isn’t the only suspected scam site in operation of course, there are many around. Only last week Stereoboard exposed www.theticketwebsite.net, another fraud site that has been set up to dupe fans of The Stone Roses. Other scam sites may appear over the coming days and weeks, as current sites get shut down and more ticket fraudsters take advantage of the unusual demand for big events going onsale before Christmas.
Stereoboard advises to only buy tickets from official outlets, such as Ticketline, See Tickets, Gigantic and Ticketmaster. When tickets for a show are sold out we advise you compare and purchase tickets with the trusted and guaranteed exchange sites that we work with such as Viagogo, Seatwave and GetMeIn.
All other sites are either brokers, speculators (selling Stone Roses tickets they do not have possession or fraudsters. Stereoboard.com runs a black-list of scam websites to help music fans avoid being ripped off. The ticket scam black-list can be viewed at www.stereoboard.com/ticket-scams.
Early in 2011, Stereoboard produced a viral video to warn fans against disreputable scam ticket operations. ‘Access All Areas’, which has received over 30,000 views so far, follows the fate of a group of music fans who opt to go ‘off road’ obtaining their tickets unofficially, to blag their way backstage at a major gig. They ultimately get left out in the cold in the video. The film can we viewed at www.youtube.com/StereoboardTV or you can of course view the video below.
