PYRAMID SCHEMER

Joanne & 50 others conned out of €129k in 'six-month' festival scam

- SANDRA MALLON

COMEDIAN Joanne McNally has been scammed out of thousands for Glastonbury tickets.

The Dubliner told fans she had used a private concierge to buy her tickets to see acts at the famous Pyramid stage at Glastonbury - but they never materialised.

Joanne says the mystery seller has now blocked her phone number and disappeared “to Spain”, leaving herself and 50 other music fans furious.

In an Instagram video, Joanne said: "Glastonbury update. The guy I bought a ticket off said it'd be there by 6. If it's not there by 6 ring me.

"No sign of the ticket. We're ringing him, we're blocked. He is gone. The money is gone. There is no ticket. We were robbed.

And obviously it wasn't cheap because it was Glastonbury and it's a once in a life-time experience.

"It's so weird because some people did get their tickets off him. A load of us didn't get our tickets from him, apparently it's like 50 of us. So he took a couple of grand off 50 people and he's now in Spain or something."

Her pal and content creator Rossi Lewis had originally organised Joanne's ticket through a concierge company, which turned out to be a scammer.
