Harry Styles shows were most often targeted while Reading music festival drew the greatest number of scam ticket sellers.
Reports of concert and festival scams have increased 529% over the past year, according to data from Lloyds Bank.
Victims of the scams have lost an average of £110, though some have lost thousands, the high street lender said.They reflect that people have returned to visiting events after the lifting of COVID restrictions. While there was a large rise in the number of festival ticket scams, Lloyds said there were also big increases in the number of incidents involving comedy and theatre tickets, though the volume was much smaller.
Attempts to swindle money out of visitors to major festivals and concerts were the commonest form of scam, with the reason thought to be related to the number of sold out events.and the gigs most targeted were those by Harry Styles. Other popular acts and performers which found themselves the target of scammers included Lewis Capaldi, Coldplay and Calvin Harris.
