Which? Get Answers podcast: how to fight the battle against the ticket scammers

We hear how millions of fans have been left out of pocket by fraudsters selling fake event tickets.

Social media is swarming with fake tickets for popular music concerts, sports contests and comedy gigs, and just recently it was reported Taylor Swift fans have lost an estimated £1m in ticket scams ahead of the UK leg of her Eras tour.

With further calls for increased regulation in the industry, we meet the man taking the fight to the scammers and secondary ticketing websites. We also explain how you can go about spotting a scam, and how to attempt to recover money you've lost as a result of scam activity. 

This episode is hosted by Harry Kind and Grace Forell, alongside Which? senior money writer Faye Lipson, and Adam Webb, campaign manager at Fan Fair Alliance.
