Heads-up from r/glastonbury_festival: With ticket dispatch underway, fans are strongly advised not to post photos of their Glastonbury tickets on social media. This move aims to reduce scams where counterfeiters use ticket images to create fake passes.
Glastonbury Festival organizers emphasize that general admission tickets are non-transferable and strictly tied to the authorized ticket-holder’s photo ID, checked thoroughly at entry points. Sharing images online can put others at risk by giving scam artists access to real ticket designs.
Recent studies reveal:
- 1 in 4 people have fallen victim to ticket scams.
- Victims lose an average of £82.
- Over half of ticket buyers mistakenly trust social media as a safe marketplace.
To stay safe:
- Buy tickets only from official sources.
- Never share photos of your tickets publicly.
- Report any suspicious activity directly to Glastonbury organizers or the authorities.
Stay vigilant and protect your festival experience from scammers this season. More info on the official website:
