Since the start of the maps for the Oasis tour this year, “at least 5000 fans” have been the victim of fraud. In total they have lost more than £ two million (the equivalent of around 2.3 million euros).
At the end of August 2024, the band members and brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher had resolved their 15 -year dispute and announced a world tour for this year. Ticket sales for the concerts in their hometown Manchester and in Cardiff, London, Edinburgh and Dublin started on 31 August – shortly thereafter all concerts were sold out. Waiting lists have been made, sales pages such as the provider’s ticket master.
This was used. On the same day they offered tickets on non -official resale for a few hundred or even a thousand pounds. The British Lloyds bank reported on Wednesday, about 1000 fraud victims among customers. On average they would have lost £ 436 (the equivalent of 509.13 euros), in an extreme case it was even £ 1st (equal to 1985.14 euros).
Buy a majority on Facebook
Nine out of ten fraud victims had bought the concert tickets on platforms from the Tech Group Meta, the majority of them on Facebook. “The fact that so many cases start with false ticket indexes in online networks underlines how important it is that these companies take more difficult measures,” said the head of fraud prevention at Lloyds, Liz Ziegler.
Oasis were founded in Manchester in 1991 and are considered co-founder of the Britpop era. Her records with hits such as “Wonderwall” and “Look Back In Anger” not sold millions of times.
