A WARNING has been issued to people who are tempted to buy tickets for the Liam Gallagher gig in Blackburn on April 27.
Winners were notified this morning (April 23), but already, some people have sought to make a profit in attempting to sell the tickets for inflated prices online.
A spokesperson for King George’s Hall - where the concert is set to take place - stated that anyone who turns up with a ticket that was not won in the raffle will be refused entry.
Just received my code for the Liam Gallagher gig at King George's Hall in Blackburn. Was no limit on the amount of tickets I could buy so got eight. Selling for £50 each for anybody interested. #LiamGallagher

The venue said: “You are reminded that tickets for the Liam Gallagher gig must not be sold or auctioned. Ticket allocations are personal and non-transferable. Selling a ticket immediately makes the ticket invalid.
“You will be refused entry if you did not win your ticket in the official raffle, so do not buy tickets from any source.
“ID and security checks will take place at the venue.”

Those lucky enough to have been selected will be asked to make a £20 donation per ticket, with all proceeds going to Blackburn-based homeless charity Nightsafe.
News broke of Liam’s exclusive gig last Monday, when it was revealed that the Britpop legend is gearing up for the release of a new adidas collaboration with Darwen designer Gary Aspden.
Liam said: “I’m glad to announce my new collaboration with adidas Spezial. It’s our take on the one and only Barrington Smash and it’s absolutely incredible.
“And if that’s not enough to blow your wig off, I’m going to be playing The King George’s Hall in Blackburn.
“All proceeds from the gig will be in aid of Nightsafe, a local homeless charity.”
Blackburn with Darwen is recognised as the birthplace of Spezial and the concert will be the first time Liam has ever performed there.
