Guys if you can't write these things here forgive me but I didn't know. Anyway I bought tickets online from a guy (€250) and he says yes they are original then it's at 3 (the event is tomorrow) he sends me an email that the ticket has been cancelled. The tik tok account has been closed, it doesn't respond to messages, number no longer exists and used I don't know if it's needed but it used proton mail
