Police Scotland officers are currently investigating the fraudulent sale of Oasis concert tickets over social media sites in Midlothian.

A Facebook account advertising the tickets has been hacked, so they are not responsible for the sale.

Locals are told to get in touch if they've been impacted by purchasing the tickets.

The Manchester rockers play at Murrayfield on August 8, 9, 10 with tens of thousands of people expected to attend.

Posting on social media, Police Scotland Midlothian said: "We are currently investigating the fraudulent sale of Oasis concert tickets over social media sites in Midlothian.

"We would like to highlight that the owner of Facebook profile appearing to sell these tickets is not responsible for the sale, instead it is as a result of their account being hacked.

"Anyone affected by purchasing these tickets should not contact the account holder if known, instead should contact Police quoting incident number 1183 of 03/01/25."
