Fans hoping to attend eagerly-anticipated events such as Glastonbury and the Oasis reunion tour are being warned not to put themselves at risk of being scammed.
The Government has issued the warning as part of its wider crackdown on scammers and online fraud.
Action Fraud data released by the Home Office show people lost more than £1.6 million in scams related to concert tickets in 2024 more than double the total recorded the previous year.
Around 3,700 gig ticket fraud reports were made to Action Fraud in 2024, with nearly half referring to offers made on social media platforms.
