Sky moves to allay Little Mix ticket fears as webpage closes
Assurance given that tickets will arrive on time
Sky has confirmed customers who bought Little Mix tickets via their shortlived ticketing venture will receive the tickets on time for the sold-out show.
People who purchased tickets for the Slessor Gardens event via Sky’s legitimate website became worried after the ticketing page disappeared, apparently without warning.
After questioning by The Courier, Sky clarified that tickets bought via the website would be dispatched on time.
The firm said that if the tickets didn’t arrive in time, then customers should contact the “venue” directly, with their name and order confirmation number.
Birkhill mother Pippa Reddy said she bought four tickets through the website.
She said: “Myself and four or five other mums paid for tickets, which we thought we were getting through Sky.
“We purchased between three and four tickets each, at what I believe was face value.
“Since the money was debited, I have had no details about the tickets from Sky or any other company.
“When you go on the original Sky ticketing website, where we initially purchased our tickets, it just links to Sky’s homepage.
“It was only after one of my friends suggested The Ticket Factory might be responsible for the tickets that I entered my details on the site, and have received a message on the webpage telling me the tickets are on their way and expected to arrive by the end of the week.”
Tickets are now selling on legitimate resale sites for as much as £197 per brief.
