"Unsuspecting punters should be warned that not usually competence they be ripped off by touts, but they competence well not even get in to the gig as the sheet offering will have been invalidated." More than twenty tickets have already been cancelled.Mr Sheppard added: "We singular tickets to 4 per chairman for these shows and we usually advertised that they were function on the own website to try to stop this happening. "Sadly, a little touts have got turn this."
