A comedian who was planning to attend the Glastonbury Festival this week has revealed she was duped out of thousands of pounds by the company that never delivered her tickets.
Comedian Joanne McNally has revealed she has been scammed out of thousands of pounds after thinking she had bought Glastonbury tickets. The Irish stand-up star revealed she initially thought she had bought tickets for the once in a lifetime event, but sadly they never arrived.
Taking to Instagram to share her fury, the 42-year-old said the man she booked them with worked for a private concierge firm. However, while she was getting excited to take in the iconic weekend event, she revealed he had gone silent and blocked her number.
Joanne stated to her followers in her video: “Glastonbury update. The ticket seller promised it would be there by six. If not, call me by 6”.
There is no sign of the ticket, she continued. We are blocking him while we’re ringing him. He has vanished. The funds have vanished. No ticket is required. We had been robbed. And it was obviously not inexpensive because Glastonbury is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
As she showed the outfit, Joanne admitted she had been packing for a weekend of fun and had been showing it off. “Here’s the outfit I was going to wear for [Morissette] on Friday night,” she continued. What an idiot, huh?
We’re not going to Glastonbury, she joked then. Please let me know if you need an acid house hat, 60 packs of wet wipes, or a barrel of poppers because I won’t be using them.
“It’s so weird because some people did get their tickets off him. A load of us didn’t get our tickets from him, apparently its like 50 of us. So he took a couple of grand off 50 people and he’s now in Spain or something..”
Glastonbury got underway on Wednesday, with performances set to include sets by the likes of US rapper Doechii, UK singer Raye and veteran rocker Sir Rod Stewart, who will be playing during the coveted legends slot. Also performing is Irish rap trio Kneecap and US star Gracie Abrams.
Fans of the festival who managed to purchase tickets were even relieved to learn that the weather has turned around and that there will be some sunshine in the upcoming days. Festivalgoers were advised to bring their wellies to Worthy Farm in Somerset at the time of the event, which had been anticipated.
However, they have now been instructed to use the sun cream instead. Over 3, 000 performances spread over more than 100 stages over the course of the five-day event make up the event’s largest in the UK.
More than 900 acres of security surround Worthy Farm in Pilton, Somerset, which is allegedly more expensive than what the Royal Family is offered, have been increased, and security has only increased.
There will be a number of secret gigs, as is the case with each festival. Additionally, a source in the music industry has informed The Mirror that Lewis Capaldi might be one of the many famous people performing covertly at the event this year.
The source revealed to The Mirror that Lorde will visit Woodsies at 11 o’clock in the morning while Lewis will be at 4.55 p.m. on Friday for a secret set.
