Police: Warning to Reading festival goers about scam tickets


Music lovers preparing to go to Reading Festival are being desire by police not to buy tickets from unauthorised websites.
The warning follows results of some scam websites, which tell people to collect non existent tickets on site.
Ch Insp Dave Parker, who is leading the policing operation, said: “There is care that we could be turning away some disappointed people from the site, who have handed over money for festival tickets which do not really exist.
“The Reading Festival website www.readingfestival.com contains a list of ticket websites which have not been delivered with tickets to sell and our suggestion is to stay clear of those sites.
“If people do hand over money and don’t receive the tickets we will of track accompany out an investigation, but we would desire people to avoid these websites in the first place.”
Police are also desiring people without tickets to stay away from the venue.
Ch Insp Parker added: “If you haven’t got a ticket there is no chance of getting in to the festival site. There will not be any tickets accessible to buy at the site.”
