Important information for anyone buying Ed Sheeran tickets

If you plan on buying Ed Sheeran tickets when they are released on Saturday for his gigs throughout Ireland in 2018, Ticketmaster have issued a warning in relation to the rules around their purchase..

To avoid ticket-touts selling on tickets to Sheeran’s gigs in Cork, Belfast, Galway and Dublin, the singer and his team have put in place anti-touting rules.

Ticketholders will only gain admission to the gigs if they can provide booking confirmation, a credit card and proof of ID.

Today Ticketmaster have said: “The named card holder must attend on the night of the event for tickets to be valid.”

Speaking when the gigs were announced, a spokesperson said: “Ed and his team have a strict stance against anyone using secondary ticketing websites for profit.

“On this tour, any tickets that are resold will not be valid – this means no profit to touts and no one getting ripped off.

“On all the stadium dates you will be required to bring your tickets, booking confirmation and credit card, plus a valid form of ID or you will not be granted entry to the show.”
