What is unethical secondary ticketing and ticket resale?
Unethical secondary ticketing is when people buy tickets at face value and then re-sell them at inflated prices via non-artist approved methods and websites, thus denying real fans the chance to buy at face value.
Ticket touts and unauthorised resellers use multiple payment cards, false identities and sophisticated computer programmes (‘bots’) to buy up large amounts of tickets which they then offer for resale at highly inflated prices.
How many tickets can I buy?
There will be a strict limit of 8 tickets per show date per person. This restriction is in place in order to give as many people as possible a fair chance to buy tickets. The whole party must arrive at the same time as the Lead Purchaser holding the tickets matching their valid photo ID.
PLEASE NOTE that any and all transactions that are detected as bot purchases, patrons creating duplicate accounts in order to purchase more than the ticket limit or any action that indicates a suspicious purchase in excess of the ticket limit will be cancelled
What is a Lead Purchaser?
A Lead Purchaser is the name of the cardholder or the name input during the booking process.[MB1] You can find the name of the Lead Purchaser in the confirmation email and on your ticket.
It is important that the Lead Purchaser arrives with their group and their matching, valid photo ID to enter the event.
But we want to go as a bigger group/family?
You will have to try to complete another order with another Lead Purchaser's name and card as each person is allowed a max of 8 tickets.
Can I buy tickets as a gift?
The matching photo ID with the surname of the Lead Purchaser will be an entry requirement, the other tickets bought by that person can be used for other people as long as they ALL arrive with the Lead Purchaser. If you want to buy as gifts then you’ll also have to attend to get your recipients into the show.
What are the entry requirements?
To gain access to the concert you are required to bring your ticket with a clear and undamaged barcode visible. You may be required to produce your email booking confirmation and a valid form of photo ID that matches the name on the confirmation. Accepted forms of photo ID are – A current original driver’s licence (including provisional licence), a current or recently expired original passport (provided the picture is a good resemblance of the holder) or the original Emirates ID
