Maximo Park: Don't Come To Our Gig
Maximo Park have posted a message urging fans not to buy tickets from secondary sellers - that's ticket touts to you and us - for their upcoming charity gig for London's Royal Marsden Hospital at The Forum on May 28.
The band are playing the concert to raise money to help rebuild the hospital's cancer ward that was destroyed in a recent fire.
Writing on their website, Maximo Park are asking fans not to buy the tickets which have inevitably surfaced on a number of touting websites.
The statement reads: "We are all disappointed to see these tickets pop up on secondary ticket sites for an inflated fee. Please don't buy these tickets.
"We work hard to keep our ticket cost as low as possible and never like to see people pay more than the slated price, especially when it's for such a worthy cause and people are profiting from it".
So there you have it. It's a charity gig and any money made from touting won't help the cause.
Maximo Park are scheduled to play both legs of the V Festival in Chelmsford and Staffordshire on August 16 and 17. Both dates are sold out but then again, they're not charity events. Not that we're suggesting anything, oh no...
