It's recommend the public don't buy from unauthorised or unknown sources

Gardai is warning those planing on buying last minute tickets to Electric Picnic to be on the lookout for fake tickets.

An Garda Síochána is warning fans heading to Electric Picnic in Stradbally, Co Laois, this weekend to be on the lookout for fake print-at-home tickets being sold online.

Third party payment sites are also being used to take money off unsuspecting fans in these scams.

Detective Chief Superintendent Pat Lordan, of the Garda National Economic Crime Bureau, today said:

"We are working closely with the organisers to prevent fans being left disappointed by the activities of criminals. It is important to stress that the print-at-home format is not being used for Electric Picnic and that the public only buy tickets from authorised sources.”
