Tickets for Little Mix for sale with 450% mark-ups
At the time of going to press, the ticket was set to go for £21. In the listing, the anonymous seller said: “One ticket for Dundee on the June 29. Offers?”
Some social media users slammed those “taking advantage” of Little Mix fans.
Elaine O’Brien McKay said: “The question is, did anybody actually manage to get tickets at the selling price?
“They usually end up on the ‘sister site’ straight away at inflated prices! So wrong.”
Jen Falconer said she had seen tickets being sold on some websites in large quantities and questioned the need for this.
She said: “I hope folk don’t pay the inflated prices.
“I bought two tickets yesterday and you could select up to 20!
“Why would you want 20 unless you are in it to rip folk off?
“These ticket sales sites should have a realistic number — five or six for a family.
“Keeps things a bit everyone.
“The band, promoters or Slessor Gardens organisers won’t see any of the inflated ticket price.”
Little Mix — who shot to fame on reality TV show The X Factor — boast hits such as Black Magic and Shout Out to My Ex.
Dundee is one of only two Scottish venues in the girl group’s summer tour, alongside the Royal Highland Centre in Ingliston, Edinburgh. fairer for
