ROBBIE WILLIAMS TICKETS STOLEN
ROBBIE WILLIAMS fans have been warned by police that nearly 500 tickets for his shows at Scotland’s Hampden Park this weekend (01-03SEP06) have been stolen, and will not be accepted.
The tickets went missing when they were posted to fans and it is believed thieves have since sold them on through online auctions, and buyers could face police questioning if they turn up for either Friday or Saturday’s shows.
Chief Superintendent ROBIN HOWE, who is in charge of policing the concerts on both nights, says, "Strathclyde Police has been informed by the promoters that a quantity of tickets are believed to have been stolen and it is likely that they have now been sold on to unsuspecting fans who will be hugely disappointed as these tickets have been withdrawn by the promoters and are no longer valid.
"It is believed that about 380 tickets for the Friday night concert and about 180 for the Saturday night, all originally destined for buyers in the Falkirk and Dunfermline areas, may have been stolen. All tickets are for the seated areas in the stands.
"There will be a special police operation at the turnstiles and anyone in possession of them will be subject to a police enquiry as to how they obtained them." A representative for promoter DF Concerts adds, "These concerts are sold out and any music fans who have taken a risk will be disappointed."
