Thousands of Ed Sheeran fans conned into buying fake tickets

Thousands of fans have been conned into buying fake tickets to British singer Ed Sheeran’s sold-out Australian shows.

Viagogo and several other re-sale sites have been selling the fake tickets to desperate fans who purchased them for exorbitant prices after they missed during the official general release sale.

Sydney’s ANZ Stadium has warned fans to check their tickets ahead of next weekend's show to ensure they aren’t left disappointed on the day.
