With festival season shortly upon us and predictions of another scorching hot British summer (!!), the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) has launched a campaign called Just Tick It aimed at increasing awareness of fake ticket websites and providing ticket buyers with helpful & practical advice on how to avoid being scammed.
Apparently 1 in 12 of us are scammed by fake websites when purchasing festival tickets. That’s 5,000 people loosing an average of £80 each this year. For detailed information about scam ticket websites and how to protect yourself visit: www.consumerdirect.gov.uk/ticketscams.
The OFT site also has a neat video section too including this amusing bootleg Florence and the Machine video:
