In light of a string of high-profile megagigs for 2025 and the difficulty in obtaining legitimate tickets, O2 – the telecoms company whose name emblazons the O2 Arena in London and who sold over 1.4 million gig tickets last year – have issued a statement and advice for anyone looking to pay a fair price and avoid fakes.
“We are tired of professional ticket touts abusing the market and stealing tickets out of fans’ hands,” said O2’s Director Gareth Griffiths. “Music fans deserve the chance to buy tickets at a price set by their favourite artist, but all too often they are forced to pay a price decided by a stranger on the internet. Consumers deserve more protection.”
