An Edinburgh student has been left out of pocket after purchasing two tickets for this year's Royal Military Tattoo performance that turned out to be screenshots of someone else's.
With a friend visiting Edinburgh from Miami, Lewis Haig purchased two tickets for the show from Viagogo, not knowing the Tattoo had its own box office for the event. With the tickets booked for the late show on Saturday, August 20, Lewis noticed that the two virtual tickets were stating the wrong time they selected and also had someone else's name on them.
Lewis then visited the Tattoo box office and was reportedly informed by a member of staff that they too were having trouble reaching Viagogo regarding 'ticket resale claims' and the company had gone as far as blocking their number. Lewis, who paid over £300 for two tickets, was forced to purchase two more to still attend Saturday's show.
