How it works
Bath hosts several major events including the Bath Festival, Bath Racecourse fixtures, and Christmas Market, for which counterfeit or resold tickets circulate on secondary market platforms at inflated prices. Some sellers outside Bath Racecourse or the Christmas Market entrance sell already-used wristbands.
How it works
Unofficial car park attendants near Bath's Park and Ride sites, particularly on the A36 approaches, collect cash parking fees for areas that are either free or managed by a different operator, providing no receipt. The official Park and Ride sites (Lansdown, Newbridge, Odd Down) have clearly posted automated payment.
