Oasis fans 'have lost £2m to ticket scams'

OASIS fans have collectively lost more than £2m to scams since tickets for the band's long-awaited reunion tour went on sale last year, a major bank estimates.

- 

Lloyds Banking Group based the calculation on the volume of fraud reports that have been made by its own customers.

Oasis fans make up more than half (56%) of all reported concert ticket scams so far this year, according to Lloyds' data, losing £436 on average.

The biggest amount lost in a single case so far was more than £1,700, suggesting many fans are willing to pay well over face value, the bank said.
