Buying Take That Tickets? Beware of the Scam Sites & Fraudsters
Friday, 29 October 2010
Written by Brad Norris
As with all big tour announcements, the vultures circle ready to defraud unsuspecting music fans, and the Take That Progress tour is certainly no expection.
Stereoboard.com has identified a number of suspicious looking websites that could be operating short term over the next few days to dupe Take That fans of their hard earned cash before dissappearing again behind the anonymity of their domain and web host.
We've collated below a list of the sites to avoid like the plague, you're unlikely to get your Take That tickets and will be left out of pocket with no means of communication with the seller.
This list is not exhaustive and other scam sites may appear over the coming days and weeks, as current sites get shut down and more Take That fraudsters take advantage of the unusual opportunity for fraud.
With Take That tickets expected to sell out in record time, these unscruplous operators will attempt to take advantage of the HUGE demand for Take That tickets by defrauding British consumers.
We advise to only buy tickets from official outlets, such as Ticketline, See Tickets, Gigantic, The Ticket Factory and Ticketmaster. If tickets are sold out we'd advise you compare & purchase tickets with the trusted & guaranteed exchange sites that we work with such as Viagogo, Seatwave & GetMeIn.
All other sites are either brokers, speculators (selling Take That tickets they do not have possession of), or fraudsters.
