SINGAPORE, March 28 — A man who cheated three people by selling them fake Taylor Swift concert tickets and later helped them gatecrash the concert was sentenced to three months’ jail.

On a connecting flight, Shangguan was approached by an unknown person who asked if she would be interested in buying Singapore Eras Tours VIP tickets at 4,000 yuan each each.The unknown person shared his WeChat contact and that of Yang to Ms Shangguan once she said she was interested. At about 4.54pm, Shangguan contacted Yang to say she was reaching the venue. He sent her a screenshot of the supposed “VIP 1” category ticket that said it was valid for “Sat 4 Mar 2024, 6:00pm”.

Thinking her ticket was genuine, Shangguan tried to scan the barcode of the screenshot ticket Yang sent her to pass through the gate. However, she was refused entry. When he noticed no security guards at the three leftmost turnstiles due to a commotion nearby that required the attention of three out of the four guards stationed there, Yang brought Li’s attention to the turnstile.

Just then, Li pushed a concertgoer aside and signalled for the trio to come towards him, holding on to the turnstile to prevent it from locking. Li then pushed the group of three through the turnstile.
