Crackdown on sale of bogus concert tickets

CONCERT promoters and the gardaí are joining forces to clamp down on rouge ticket sellers ahead of several major concerts this summer.

The gardaí fear thousands of sophisticated bogus tickets are being manufactured for sell-out music events.

Already dozens of forged tickets were seized at the Justin Timberlake gig at the Point Theatre, Dublin, last week. These tickets were purchased through magazine and newspaper advertisements.
