Torture Garden supremo Allen TG has warned on Facebook about the fraudulent email and paper tickets going for marked-up prices on public selling sites eBay and Gumtree. The statement comes before this weekend’s much celebrated Valentine’s Ball this Saturday 12th at Debut, Central London, a highlight and already a sell-out for TG. Allen’s statement reads:
“Please be aware of buying emailed/mobile bar coded tickets off ebay and via other places especially if they are being sold above market price. We are monitoring ebay and gum tree etc and will cancel any tickets we can.”
The alert, also posted on its own website is a doubly emotive one for Torture Garden as the Valentine Ball will be one of the last TG events at Debut. The cavernous London club has already announced it will be closing in September 2011 as it is being sold back to Railtrack. Allen continues: “Be aware it is also very easy to duplicate bar coded tickets and these tickets may not get you in. Each bar code is individual and will be scanned upon entry. Please note that all tickets bought from TG are not exchangable, transferable or refundable.”
