Irish Taylor Swift fans have been issued a warning by gardai after a Limerick woman attempting to buy tickets to one of the singer's gigs in Dublin next month was duped out of hundreds of euro.
Swift is set to perform three dates at the Aviva Stadium on June 28, 29 and 30, with tickets for all three gigs selling out within minutes of going on sale last July.
Last week, a woman in her late 20s from the Corbally saw that a woman was selling tickets to one of Swift's upcoming gigs on Facebook.

The Limerick woman contacted the seller and sent her €360 via Revolut.
Despite transferring over the money to the Facebook user, the Limerick woman never received the Taylor Swift tickets.
Subsequently, the Facebook page in question was deleted and woman was unable to get in contact with the seller.
The Limerick woman was left heartbroken after being conned out of hundreds of euro and Gardai are now warning the public only to buy concert tickets from reputable online sites.
Speaking to Limerick Live, Sergeant Ber Leetch, Crime Prevention Officer with Henry Street Garda Station, said: "There is such a huge demand for Taylor Swift concert tickets and the scammers know this.
"The buyers are too excited and in such a hurry to grab these tickets that they may not check the situation out properly."
Sgt Leetch said if people are buying things online and they have any doubts or something seems too good to be true, they should stop and consider whether it could be a scam.
