Elite School Friend's Lavish Festival Ticket Scam
23 Nov
Summary
- A man scammed £1 million selling fake Glastonbury festival tickets.
- He claimed privileged access through family land and company work.
- Victims received fake invoices and invalid email addresses.
A sophisticated scam involving fake Glastonbury festival tickets has come to light, with Miles Hart, a former student of an elite private school, at its center. Hart allegedly sold approximately £1 million worth of tickets, hospitality, and VIP passes to individuals worldwide who had missed out on official sales.
He purportedly leveraged his former connections and claimed privileged access, citing family land near the festival site and affiliations with event companies. However, as the 2024 Glastonbury festival neared, it became clear that Hart's promises were fabricated, built on false invoices and fraudulent email addresses.
The fallout from Hart's actions has left a significant trail of destruction, including considerable debt, widespread anger, and threats. The extent of his deception reportedly involved lying to the family of a deceased friend and accumulating tens of thousands of pounds in unpaid debts to his godmother.
