He sold tickets to about 100 unwitting customers, netting him between £7,000 and £8,000. Guy Dunstan, General Manager of NEC Arenas, said that he was sad to hear about the scam. ‘‘We were sorry to hear that some members of the public did not receive the tickets they thought they had purchased for the Take That Beautiful World Tour,’’ he said. ‘‘The NEC Group has stringent processes in place in order to protect customers from fraudulent ticket sales and actively engages with associations to combat the secondary ticketing market. ‘‘We always advise customers to book their tickets through a reputable box office, such as The Ticket Factory which has been approved by the Society of Ticket Agents and Retailers. ‘‘We treat activity such as this extremely seriously and we actively support the Office of Fair Trading’s ‘Just Tick It’ campaign, which means we adhere to a strict code of practice, providing clear and transparent information about the tickets on sale.’’
