Robbie Williams advises fans not to buy homecoming gig’s tickets from scalpers

LONDON - Robbie Williams has requested his fans not to purchase tickets for his British homecoming concert from unofficial outlets, as they will be denied entry.

The 2,000 tickets for the show which is part of the BBC’s annual Electric Proms event in London next month was apparently sold out in minutes after they were put up for sale.

However, it was soon available at unofficial ticketing websites and eBay at an inflated price.

But the British singer has warned fans that the security won’t allow people entry with tickets bought from these sites.

The Daily Express reports, a statement on his website read: “Tickets to Robbie’s performance at BBC’s Electric Proms sold out in a flash this morning and we are aware that many of you who did not manage to get tickets are very disappointed.

“We strongly recommend that you do not purchase tickets from unofficial sources, by this we mean anyone selling tickets second-hand.

“Strict security measures will be in place on the night and you risk being disappointed further if you buy these tickets at an inflated price only to be refused entry.”

The concert is slated to take place on Oct 9. (ANI)
