Korean rock band Wave To Earth's first concert in Singapore on March 4.More than 60 fans have claimed that they are victims of a scam after buying invalid tickets to Korean rock band Wave To Earth's first concert in Singapore.Among them is PR consultant Chong Yoke Ming, 30. He told AsiaOne that he and his friend, along with dozens other fans, were denied entry into the venue. They had all bought tickets from the same seller.

Chong did not manage to get tickets then but was desperate to see the band in the flesh. So he contacted a seller on Telegram last December. The next day, Chong joined a Telegram group chat with more than 60 fans, who all said they had also bought invalid tickets from the same seller. They claimed they were told the same "sob breakup story".He added: "The mood among the fans in the group is more of anger than sadness now. Several of them knew that they were scammed before the show. But some, who didn't know their tickets were fake, were looking forward to the show and dressed up nicely for it.
