BFMV warn fans of ticket scam

Bullet For My Valentine have warned fans hoping to see them on the Rockstar Taste of Chaos tour that someone is running a scam promising fans VIP passes and guest list spots with various bands to the shows.

The following was issued last night:

“There is an internet scam going on. Someone named / or calling themselves JENNIFER WEDS (promotions@tasteofchaos.com), we believe, is charging $95 for two VIP tickets. She is claiming to be the tour’s promotions marketing person. We’re currently investigating the situation in hopes of finding out who this person is for further investigation. People are being sent emails, printing them out, and bringing them to the box office for entry. THIS IS A SCAM.

Here is what the letter says:

Dear ______:

You have been chosen to receive two VIP tickets for the Rockstar Taste Of Chaos tour! Your name will be on the will call list plus one guest. Please be sure to bring a print out of the email and your photo ID when
picking up your tickets. Will Call will be open one hour prior to showtime. Have a great time and keep rockin!

Sincerely,
Jennifer Weds
promotional marketing
Taste of Chaos 2008

Others letter are more specific and say within the body:

‘Receive two VIP tickets for the Rockstar Taste of Chaos Tour 2008 in Denver, CO on February 29th, 2008. Your name will appear on Idiot Pilots guestlist. Please bring a valid photo ID. This guestlist spot is valid for you PLUS ONE GUEST.’

Again, this is a SCAM and this will become a police matter!

The tour always prides itself on giving our audiences the best experience and when something like this happens it really sucks!”

Kevin Lyman, John Reese & Your RTOC Family”

Although the scam doesn’t seem to be extracting any money from recipients, fans are advised to ignore any such email/letter they receive.
