Hundreds of fans have ended up being refused entry to the festival over the weekend, with the promoters blaming "third party websites such as Gumtree and Ebay."
They continued: "These fraudulent tickets have been created by unscrupulous parties who are engaging in criminal activity and are preying on young music fans who are not using approved and official ticket outlets such as Ticketmaster and TicketWeb."

this activity:
