A warning has been issued to music fans hoping to purchase tickets to see US superstar Billie Eilish in Glasgow.
Marc Porcar, CEO of QR Code Generator, said: “As Eilish is one of the biggest stars of the 21st century, it’s expected that ticket scalpers and scammers will increase their efforts to take advantage of vulnerable fans who are desperate to go – so it’s essential that you proceed with caution when purchasing tickets.
· Unexpected communications. Scammers can send fake text messages or emails which can be convincing, especially with many official ticket sellers having mailing lists for fans. Unsolicited messages from fake sellers are something to be wary of, especially if they request any personal details. · Printed ticket awareness and speculative ticketing – sellers posting tickets they don’t actually have. Many fraudsters capitalise on selling tickets they don’t have or using counterfeit printed tickets. Most tickets, particularly those for large events, have a barcode or QR code. Buyers should avoid ticket listings that have a photo of the ticket that shows a barcode or QR code, as it could be a duplication.
He added:"Always purchase tickets from official sources. There are many lookalike websites which can be easily mistaken, particularly in the initial ticket presale or general sale rush. Checking for security indicators such as ‘https://’ and double-checking the URL is key.
