ROYAL Albert Hall bosses have raised concerns about tickets sold by a Brighton company.

It comes just days after the same firm, Platinum Sports Group, sold a woman two tickets to the Wimbledon men’s final for £7,200 which did not exist.

Director and founder of Brighton-based Classic Consulting Denise Buchan, who bought the tickets, was left in floods of tears after finding out the Centre Court tickets were fake.

Stewart Jefferson, managing director of Platinum Sports, said that he had produced the tickets in good faith from a supplier and had himself been left down.

Yesterday he promised that the £7,200 would be back in her bank account later today.

However, there are now question marks over a box he also tried to sell to Ms Buchan for the Last Night of the Proms in September.

She inquired about seats, prior to finding out about the fake Wimbledon tickets, and Mr Jefferson sent her an invoice for four tickets in a private box for £6,696. He said the package would include programmes, and a complimentary bar.

Fearing the offer was too good to be true, Ms Buchan held off paying for the tickets and contacted the Royal Albert Hall to see if they were genuine.

In an email seen by The Argus, a box office manager told Ms Buchan it “doesn’t look good” adding “The Royal Albert Hall aren’t currently offering any hospitality packages for the Last Night of the Proms so not sure what the complimentary bar will consist of.”

In a statement sent to The Argus, the venue added: “The Royal Albert Hall is the only official ticket seller of the BBC Proms. It is very difficult to manage unofficial selling - this is an industry-wide and serious problem and we do what we can to prevent this.”

Commenting on the Albert Hall tickets, Mr Jefferson said: “We work as a secondary ticket agent - we don’t deal with the Royal Albert Hall directly, we purchase from suppliers that know box or seat holders. It’s how the secondary market works.”

He refused to answer whether he thought the tickets were genuine or not. He also refused to name the company that he bought the tickets from.

Mr Jefferson said his company strictly sells hospitality packages only, and after the Wimbledon incident he would not be dealing in regular ticket sales any more.

Action fraud is investigating to see whether a fraud could have been committed.
