Ed Sheeran has warned fans to not buy his concert tickets from ticket touts.
Tickets for his Dublin show went on sale this week and sold out within minutes – and now tickets are popping up for re-sale on various websites.
A spokesperson for the singer said, “We are vehemently opposed to the unethical practices that occur in the secondary market.

“We have written to each of our partners, be them promoters, venues or ticketing companies detailing the way in which we expect tickets to be sold – direct to fans,” the spokesperson told Press Association.
“We have also partnered with a company called Twickets, which is a site aimed at the ethical resale of tickets.
“It allows fans to swap tickets at face value or less; we are pushing them as the official resale partner and a safe place for fans to swap tickets.
“We are aware and deeply concerned about the websites in question and have urged all fans not to engage with them in order to avoid being ripped off with higher prices or, potentially, counterfeit tickets.
“Once again, we urge all fans to only purchase tickets through official vendors.”
