ZZ Top fans turned away with fake tickets

Concert promoter Peter Aiken has issued a fresh warning over the user of secondary ticket websites after saying more than 60 ZZ Top fans with fake tickets were not admitted to their Dublin show last weekend.

The Aiken Promotions boss said the warning follows dismay for fans of the US band and of former Beach Boy frontman Brian Wilson, who was also in Ireland for a sellout concert last week.

“At ZZ Top on Friday, at least 60 people turned up at the venue who had bought tickets through secondary websites” he said. “These tickets were not valid which caused distress and disappointment to these fans.
