Oasis reunion tour ticket scams cost fans more than £2m, Lloyds bank estimates

Victims include fans rushing to buy tickets at well over face value, data collected by Lloyds Banking Group suggests

Oasis fans have collectively lost more than 2m to scams since tickets for its reunion tour went on sale last year, a major bank has estimated.

Lloyds Banking Group based the calculation on the volume of fraud reports made by its own customers. Oasis fans make up more than half (56%) of all reported concert ticket scams so far this year, according to Lloyds' data, losing 436 on average.
