MUSIC fans who buy T in the Park tickets on eBay could be left hundreds of pounds out of pocket and with no concert to go to after the festival’s organisers stepped up their campaign to tackle internet touts.

DF Concerts and their official ticket agent Ticketmaster yesterday announced that they have cancelled hundreds of T in the Park tickets currently being sold for a profit on the auction website.

Ticketmaster has notified their original purchasers and have refunded their payment as well as notifying eBay that the tickets are now defunct.

The tickets are being identified from images on the auction website.

But fans who have paid for one of these tickets could be left out of pocket when they try to secure a refund for the now-useless tickets from the original seller. Worse still, they may not find out that it is void until they reach the site at Balado Park near Kinross.

The festival organisers claim that it is a response to complaints from fans who are paying on average £250 opposed to the £97 ticket price.
