Restricting ticket resale empowers fraudsters
Photo Credit: BestForBest / Shutterstock I posed as a desperate fan trying to buy tickets to a Premier League match. Within minutes, I was chatting in a Facebook group where a 'seller' offered me a ticket for £150. I was told to pay a £50 'name change fee' and to transfer it to a bank account under someone else's name. As soon as I sent the money, I was blocked. No ticket. No seller. No trace. This wasn't a one-off. It's the reality of the ticketing black market – a fastgrowing, digital criminal underworld that thrives when regulation drives consumers away from legitimate resale platforms and into the shadows. Amid the UK government's current consultation on secondary ticketing, calls are growing for price caps. It may seem like a sensible solution to preventing inflated prices. From where I'm sitting, it's a fraudster's dream. Bans and caps won't stop the scammers. They'll supercharge them. As CEO of We Fight Fraud, a unit consisting of former police, intelligence officers, academic researchers, cyber specialists, and financial crime experts, we set out to answer a simple question: What happens when you try to buy tickets in a market where price caps have been introduced? Do price caps work? The results of our research were alarming. In over half of our test purchases, buyers were scammed. When tickets did arrive, they had typically been resold illegally. The purchasing process was often drawn out and opaque, with communications coming from international phone numbers and payments requested via suspected money mule accounts. Rather than protecting consumers, price caps or a ban on ticket resale will push legitimate demand for tickets underground, into social media platforms, where fraudsters thrive. This risk is well-evidenced in other markets. In Ireland, resale above face value has been banned for designated events since 2021. We put this to the test to see if it works. We very quickly found two pairs of tickets to a Teddy Swims event, one from a social media site and the other from a ticketing website, which is in clear violation of the law, but lists the tickets regardless. Both sets were priced at over four times the face value, with a string of additional charges. Clearly, these price cap regulations are being circumnavigated. Subscribe to The New Statesman today from only £8.99 per month Subscribe The price of good intentions When looking at the overall live events industry, new research from Bradshaw Advisory, verified in our own testing, found that since price cap restrictions were brought into both Ireland and Victoria, Australia, 13.6 per cent of consumers have reported being scammed, compared to just 3.8 per cent in the UK. That's more than triple the fraud rate. Data from the National Fraud Intelligence Bureau, Action Fraud and the National Crime Agency shows that the cost of reported ticket fraud for England and Wales was £70m last year. Introducing caps could increase this to a £280m loss. The reality is that the introduction of price caps pushes people out of safer environments and into riskier ones. When you remove legal resale routes, desperate fans turn to social media channels. Data by Get Safe Online revealed that one in eight buyers have reported being scammed when looking for tickets on social media, and history suggests price caps will increase these numbers. Our team found that three out of four tickets purchased via social media in test cases were either fake or never arrived. Those are not odds fans should be gambling with. Nowhere is ticketing fraud more prevalent than in football. In the UK, football ticket resale is a criminal offence under the 1994 Criminal Justice and Public Order Act. The intention was to protect fans, but it inadvertently created the perfect conditions for scammers. We attempted to buy five tickets to Liverpool vs Southampton from a mix of platforms, including unregulated resale sites and social media groups. Two were outright scams, and two were legitimate tickets, but obtained illegally by proxy, using another person's membership details. In one case, a fraudster demanded extra payment for 'name change' after the initial payment was sent, before vanishing. Another provided bank details that didn't match the seller's name, which is a classic money-muling tactic designed to hide the true recipient and launder proceeds of fraud. What became apparent was that these weren't amateur scammers. They were organised networks. The looming financial fallout: APP Fraud The scam doesn't end with the fan who gets ripped off. Since October 2024, banks have been legally obligated to reimburse victims of Authorised Push Payment (APP) fraud (scams where consumers willingly transfer money to fraudsters). In our ticketing fraud investigations, every social media scam was an APP fraud. Money was sent directly to accounts controlled by criminals or their mules. This shows when policy displaces fans into high-risk environments, the cost of fraud doesn't just fall on the victim, it falls on every bank, every business, and eventually, every consumer. If resale caps increase fraud, which the data strongly suggests it does and will, the banking sector and the wider economy will shoulder the consequences. Fans will find a way Advertorial In partnership with There is one unavoidable truth that policymakers must reckon with: there is persistent, legitimate demand for secondary tickets. If fans can't buy them safely, they'll buy them anyway. We have a choice. We can pretend price caps will solve the problem and let fraud flourish in the shadows. Or we build on a secure, transparent, regulated resale ecosystem that protects fans, cracks down on crime and brings accountability to the market. Because resale isn't the enemy. Fraud is. And right now, by driving fans underground, we're not just ignoring the threat – we're handing fraudsters the keys to the kingdom. Nicola Harding is the CEO of We Fight Fraud.

Exact mark to spot on ultra rare £1 coin that could be worth 500 times its face value – check if you have one
We reveal how to spot a rare coin or banknote below CHANGE UP Exact mark to spot on ultra rare £1 coin that could be worth 500 times its face value – check if you have one AN ultra rare £1 coin could be hiding in your spare change worth 500 times its face value. The rare piece is worth the small fortune due to an engraving error which is almost impossible to spot. Advertisement 1 A rare £1 error coin could be worth £500 Credit: TikTok/@coincollectingwizard New 12-sided £1 coins were struck and entered into circulation in 2017 but some were made incorrectly during the manufacturing process. A small number have the date "2016" engraved in tiny markings on the rim of the coin instead of 2017. It is not known how many of this type of error coin entered circulation, but find one and it could be worth up to £500, according to one coin expert. In a recent video on TikTok, account Coincollectingwizard said: "These coins usually feature a tiny micro-engraved date on the rim as an added security feature. Advertisement "However, a small number of these coins were mistakenly engraved with the wrong year, showing 2016 instead of 2017. "This subtle but significant error went unnoticed by many making these coins particularly rare." It's worth bearing in mind, you might not fetch £500 for this coin if you find it in your spare change. A rare coin is only worth what a buyer is willing to pay for it on that day, whether that be in auction, on Facebook or eBay. Advertisement It might also be worth getting this type of coin verified and valued through The Royal Mint's Collectors Service. We reveal more details on that service below. Is Your 50p Worth More Than You Think How to spot a rare coin A coin is usually classed as rare if it meets two criteria - a low mintage figure or it was struck in error. The mintage figure of a coin relates to how many of it were struck and put into circulation. Advertisement For that reason, the less that have been struck the rarer and potentially valuable it is considered to be. The Royal Mint has a list of some of the rarest coins you might be able to find in your spare change on its website. For example, the 2023 Atlantic Salmon 50p is considered the rarest 50p piece, with only 200,000 minted. In second is the Kew Gardens 2009 50p, of which 210,000 were struck and put into circulation. Advertisement How much you can get for either of these coins depends, but one Kew Gardens 50p recently went for £107 on eBay. The other type of rare coin is an "error" coin, made when an issue occurs during the manufacturing process, like the rare £1 coin mentioned above. Usually, there's just a handful of these types of coins in circulation because they were made incorrectly. One rare £2 error coin has been known to sell for £1,000 previously while another 2p coin is also worth over £1,000. Advertisement How to sell a rare coin You've got three main options: in auction, on eBay or on Facebook Marketplace. The safest way to sell a rare coin is more than likely at auction. You can organise this with The Royal Mint's Collectors Service. It has a team of experts who can help you authenticate and value your coin. You can get in touch via email and a member of the valuation team will get back to you. Advertisement You will be charged for the service though - the cost varies depending on the size of your collection. If you are selling on eBay, make sure you list the coin's price accurately. You can do this by checking how much other sellers have sold the same piece for. It's pointless listing a rare 50p for £100 if people have only been willing to pay £50 for it previously, for example. Advertisement Finally, you can sell on Facebook Marketplace, but be wary of scammers trying to get you to transfer money to dodgy accounts. It can be easier to meet buyers in person and get cash for your coin, but only in daylight and in a public place. In any case, if you're selling on eBay or Facebook, decent pictures will help the coin sell for the best price. Do you have a money problem that needs sorting?
