BIGBANG Singapore concert ticket scams cause at least $,2700 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).
The Singapore Police Force reported that ticket scams for BIGBANG's upcoming concert have cost victims at least SGD 2,700 since the start of August. The group's XX:Cosmos concert is set for October 17, 2026, at Singapore's National Stadium, with a previous pre-sale on August 11. Scammers typically target victims on online platforms with fake ticket listings.
Unsuspecting fans pay for the tickets via bank transfer or digital payment methods, only to find out the sellers are non-existent. BIGBANG's tour includes a stop in Hanoi, Vietnam from October 24-25, 2026. The police have reached out to second-hand e-commerce site Carousell to remove ticket resale listings and warn the public to be cautious when buying concert tickets online.
