Fraud alert in Braunschweig: No Roxette concerts, tickets are fake!
Fake Roxette concert in Braunschweig: State Theater warns of fraud, ticket buyers should contact the police.
Fraud alert in Braunschweig: No Roxette concerts, tickets are fake!
An alleged concert by the legendary band Roxette in Braunschweig is causing excitement and confusion among music fans. But disillusionment follows quickly: it is simply a scam! News38 reports that the Braunschweig State Theater is clear: a concert will not take place, and the theater warns urgently about counterfeit tickets that are sold on unofficial platforms.
The rip-off artists are taking advantage of the band's popularity and trying to make a profit with fake tickets. The organizers of the State Theater declare that under no circumstances should tickets be purchased from unverified platforms or third-party providers. Anyone who has already fallen for the scammers and purchased fake tickets should contact the police immediately and file a report.
A familiar face, but no appearances in Braunschweig
Roxette, known for their hits in the 1990s, still exists, but the band has changed since the death of frontwoman Marie Fredriksson six years ago. Per Gessle, the other part of the fragrant duo, is now touring with the singer Lena Philipsson. But one thing is certain: there will be no performances in Braunschweig, either NDR confirmed. This makes the marketing of counterfeit tickets all the more scandalous.
The confusion over the non-existent event is fueling frustration among those affected. The State Theater itself is concerned and regrets the inconvenience caused to the fans. Prospective buyers and fans who are considering purchasing tickets are now advised to exercise extreme caution.
Prevention is everything
Anyone who has fallen into the scammers' trap should know that the chances of getting a refund are usually rather slim. Sellers are often unreachable and most options for refunding money are severely limited. The experts from ING recommend that you consider a chargeback for credit card payments. However, things look bleaker with bank transfers, as there is often no way back.
It is strongly recommended that you report the fraud to the police immediately. This is not only to possibly minimize your own losses, but also to spare other potential victims from such a stroke of fate. The Braunschweig State Theater is available to answer questions and provide support and hopes that important knowledge about safer ticket purchases will be spread to prevent scams like this in the future.
