“Please do not purchase tickets to a sold-out event via comments on social media,” reads a public statement issued by the Veiner Centre. “More often than not, it’s a scammer with ill intention.”
The Veiner Centre is asking anyone who may have purchased a ticket but can no longer attend to contact staff to pass the ticket on.
