Radio 1 warns against buying Big Weekend tickets from touts
BBC Radio 1 has warned fans against purchasing tickets for its 2026 Big Weekend festival in Sunderland from touts or unauthorised sellers, noting such tickets are void and may lead to entry refusal, with official sales limited to the BBC Radio 1 Big Weekend website and Ticketmaster. Music industry group FanFair Alliance is calling for urgent implementation of the UK government's promised ticket resale price cap, highlighting inflated prices (up to 12 times face value) and exploitation, while resellers StubHub and Viagogo warn the cap could drive sales to unregulated sites, increase fraud, and reinforce Ticketmaster's dominance.
