Lewis Capaldi fans issued fake ticket warning ahead of sold out Glasgow gig

Fans of Lewis Capaldi heading to his sold out gig have been warned against attending his show with tickets they purchased from a certain website.

The 'Pointless' singer is set to take to the stage of Glasgow's OVO Hydro tonight (January 24), however the venue has issued an urgent warning, reminding people against fake ticket purchases.

According to the Daily Record, Gigs In Scotland stated any tickets purchased through Eventbrite - an online ticketing website - are not valid and ticket holders will not be allowed into the show tonight.

Taking to Twitter they warned: "Any customer who has obtained tickets via Eventbrite should not attend as they are not valid tickets. Eventbrite were not an official ticket outlet for this event - only @TicketmasterUK."

The OVO Hydro re-shared the tweet across its social media channels to ensure fans will not be disappointed or turned away after travelling to the venue.

The 26-year-old star from West Lothian is currently touring the UK, having played the P&J Live in Aberdeen last night (January 23) as part of his 'Broken By Desire To Be Heavenly Sent' 2023 tour.

In response to the fake tickets, fans took to Twitter to vent their frustrations, although they did not specify where the tickets came from with one saying: "@LewisCapaldi hi, sooooo disappointed that we didn’t get to see you. I bought tickets from a friend and the tickets ended up being fake. Really disappointed. Work at the children's hospital in Aberdeen and was so looking forward to seeing you."

The warning over the validity of the tickets comes after Lewis assured fans he was alright after a video of him twitching on stage went viral last week during one of his shows. Addressing the video he said: "Hello it's Lewis here. I've seen this video here doing the rounds on TikTok and I see a lot of people in the comments concerned because I'm twitching quite a lot."

Mimicking his shoulder twitch, which he has admitted to having Botox injections to help, Lewis added: "I'm doing this quite a lot and look a bit uncomfortable. I've got Tourette's so I'm just twitching quite a bit but it's not an issue in the slightest. I'm absolutely fine.

"It's just that this happens when I get tired, nervous, excited or whatever so it just gets more intense. I'm not doing it now at all because I'm lying in my bed in my pants but this [gesturing to the original video] is at the end of an hour and a half gig and I'm singing in front of 15,000 people.

"So I'm tired and I'm very excited because this whole arena is singing my songs back to me but I'm fine. Thanks to everyone who came to the gig that night. It was incredible."
