Reading & Leeds festival promoters warn of fake ticket selling sites

Festival Republic, the promoters of the Reading and Leeds Festival, want to make it clear to festival goers that NO tickets are currently available for this year's festival following the appearance of websites claiming to be selling tickets for this year's event.

The promoter is issuing a warning to fans that two sites, at www.readingfestival2009.com and www.leedsfestival2009.com are not official and have no access to tickets for this year's event.

Line-up and ticketing details for the events will be announced in due course and when they are on sale, ticket buyers can rest assured that eFestivals will NOT be offering our readers links to buy tickets from unreliable sources.

eFestivals only links to reputable ticket agents, or direct from an event's own box office. So you can be sure that any ticket bought via the links will be bought from a legitimate outlet, one that has been approved by the festival you are buying a ticket for.

Do not purchase tickets from unofficial or secondary ticket outlets or auction sites as they often are unable to supply the tickets, and might not even give you a refund - there are a lot of dodgy operators out there! We also recommend you avoid a number of ticket selling sites, for the list of who they are, click here.
