All Together Now organisers issue ticket warning ahead of festival
Any revellers hoping to snap up some last minute tickets for All Together Now this weekend have been warned to avoid 'unauthorised sellers' as scammers are running rampant. The hugely popular Waterford festival, which is completely sold out, will see Nelly Furtado, Fontaines D.C., CMAT and more taking to the stage over three days in Curraghmore Estate. Music lovers planning on travelling to the estate who didn't manage to snag a pass during the year are now being urged to steer clear of fraudsters taking advantage of the chaos to make a quick buck - as festival organisers reveal that they are inundated with messages about potential punters being scammed. A spokesperson for the festival said: "Festival goers are strongly advised to avoid purchasing tickets or campervan passes from unauthorised sellers. "We have received a significant number of messages from people who have been scammed when trying to buy tickets through unofficial channels, particularly through a Facebook group claiming to resell tickets for our events."
