It’s been a long year without live events, but with the silver lining of lockdown easing on the horizon, it might not be too long until you can get back to your favourite gig or festival.
There’s just one more hurdle that you need to overcome: getting your hands on a ticket.
Unfortunately, with demand for tickets at an all-time high, it’s not just genuine fans but also ticket touts looking to hoover up tickets as soon as an event goes on sale.
Not only is this bad for fans, who are then forced to buy touted tickets at much higher prices on the secondary market, but also for artists who aren’t supported by this practice.
Fans also run the risk of buying an invalid ticket that might not gain access to the event or even a ticket that does not yet exist!
With that in mind, we’ve joined forces with Victim of Viagogo to show you how you can stay safe when buying tickets online:
FEAT would like to thank Victim of Viagogo for their input, as well as the incredible work they do helping fans on a daily basis, alongside supporters Live Europe, EMMA, the International Federation of Musicians, Pearle and the Asociación de Promotores Musicales.
