Online Scams in Ghent

Fake Gentse Feesten Ticket Websites

In the weeks before the Gentse Feesten ten-day summer festival, fraudulent websites and social media sellers offer tickets to ticketed evening concerts and headline events at face value or above, collecting payment and delivering either fake tickets or no tickets at all. Because many events sell out quickly, the demand creates a viable scam window. The official festival website lists all ticketed events and authorized vendors.
