SINGAPORE - At least 2,000 victims fell prey to concert ticket scams between January and May, with losses amounting to at least $1 million.
They included reports lodged by victims who were scammed while trying to get tickets to watch Bruno Mars, Ed Sheeran and Coldplay in 2024. On Swift concert ticket scams, Assistant Commissioner of Police Aileen Yap told ST in March that reports lodged included those from victims who had bought tickets from resellers. They later discovered their tickets were fake when they could not enter the National Stadium, where the concerts were held.
They include American singer-songwriter Olivia Rodrigo, who will be playing her Guts world tour over two nights in October. Tickets to both shows have sold out.
