Police revealed how they plan on cracking down on ticket scammers ahead of Oasis.

Cops are targeting cyber fraudsters and said “no stone will be left unturned” after seeing the number of fake ticket sales rocket this year.

Figures showed female Gen Z fans suffered the most from this type of crime as 18 to 24 year olds reported losses.

This could relate to the fact 60% of ticket scams involved the Taylor Swift Eras Tour in Edinburgh this summer.

Now with major events like the Oasis reunion coming up next year, Police Scotland are bracing for more victims to be caught out.

They are warning the public to be on alert and report any suspicious activity in the hopes to catch criminals.

Inspector Alasdair Penny, Cybercrime Harm Prevention, told the Glasgow Times: “Over the last few months we have seen an increase in ticket fraud throughout Scotland.

“With further events taking place next year such as the Oasis tour, Kylie Minogue, many sporting events, and even looking into 2026 with the Commonwealth games it is reality important that members of the public are aware of such scams and protect themselves.

“Criminals look for any opportunity to take advantage of people, unfortunately if there is high demand people will pay large amounts of money for what could be a once in a lifetime experience for them.

“Criminals will look to exploit that but there’s a number of steps people can take to ensure they are better protected.

“Absolutely anyone can be a victim to cyber crime. It is getting harder and harder because the sophistication is growing, it is harder to tell if it is a scam or if it is not. It is important that people really take their time when buying tickets.

“When we investigate cyber crime, no stone is left unturned.”

Between January and September, 2024 there were 313 reported incidents of frauds across Scotland involving the online sale of tickets for major events.

This equates to 6% of all cyber fraud incidents.

These frauds are not connected to the artists, venues, promoters or reputable ticket sale sites.

The majority take place on social media and online marketplace platforms by individuals and groups looking to exploit members of the public for financial gain.

Inspector Penny added: “Before purchasing, carefully review the ticket details for authenticity. Check for accurate event information, including the date, time, and venue.

“Pay attention to the seating section or assigned seats, which can indicate fraudulent tickets.”
