Taylor Swift’s UK tour has been hit by ticket fraud, with at least 3,000 fans being duped into buying fake tickets, resulting in over £1m being stolen from them, according to Lloyds Bank. The fraudulent schemes have shown a 158% increase from the previous year, with an average victim loss of £332. These scams mostly originate from Facebook, with unofficial groups offering tickets at bargain prices or claiming to sell entry to soldout events at exorbitant rates. Fans are advised to use official ticketing sites and to pay by credit or debit card for added security.
