BIGBANG Singapore concert ticket scams cause at least $2,700 in losses
At least five scams involving tickets to K-pop group BIGBANG's upcoming Singapore concert have been reported in the past two weeks, with victims losing at least S$3,500 (US$2,700).
Singapore's police have reported at least $2,700 in losses due to ticket scams for the BIGBANG concert, which went on sale to the public on August 13. Victims fall prey to advertisements or listings for the tickets on various online platforms, often led to by fan club pre-sales. When they contact the sellers and pay via bank transfer or other methods, scammers often vanish without delivering the tickets.
The next BIGBANG concert in Singapore is scheduled for October 17, 2026, at the National Stadium, followed by performances in Hanoi, Vietnam. The Singapore Police Force has contacted e-commerce platforms Carousell, Facebook Marketplace, and TikTok Shop, requesting removal of ticket listings. Authorities advise caution when buying concert tickets online.
