Organisers of the BBC's forthcoming One Big Weekend event, to be held in Dundee this weekend, are warning music fans that there are bogus backstage passes circulating on the internet.
Counterfeit passes have been auctioned on eBay, with prices shooting beyond £7,000; real tickets are selling at around the £100 mark. Radio 1 has subsequently made all backstage passes invalid, to clear up the confusion.
A spokesman for the station said:
"Obviously Radio 1 is totally against people profiting from what is a free music event. Unfortunately with all major ticketed events there is the chance that people will auction tickets off."
Bands appearing at the two-day event include Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Sugababes (pictured), Editors, Muse and Snow Patrol. The full line-up can be found here.

Ugh
This is an extremely good concert - I love every single band there... except for Sugababes, why the hell are they there?
seven thousand
question marks is a lot of money.
does this mean
I can't use my backstage pass?
Dundee is fucking raging about this by the way! Hardly any people from here got a ticket, no kidding!
There's be some rumours going about but i won't post them here because it's unfair.
make my
comment redundant why don't you?
