Woman admits selling fake Oasis concert tickets in Newcastle-under-Lyme
Rosie Slater pleads guilty to 11 counts of fraud after victims lose total of £4,000
A 32-year-old woman from Betley, Newcastle-under-Lyme, has admitted to fraudulently advertising Oasis concert tickets earlier this year.
Rosie Slater appeared at the North Staffordshire Justice Centre on Thursday, 11 December, where she pleaded guilty to 11 counts of fraud by false representation.
The charges stem from her claims that she had access to Oasis concert tickets and a VIP box at Wembley Stadium for a May 2025 performance.
Victims of the scam are estimated to have lost a total of around £4,000.
Slater has been granted bail and is scheduled to be sentenced at the same court on 13 April 2026.
Speaking following her conviction, DC David Stubbs of the force's investigation bureau, who investigated the case, said:
“This was a complex case that involved multiple victims and a significant amount of money lost.
"Slater kept up the pretence enticing more victims and making personal gain whilst causing a financial loss to the victims."
DC Stubbs also thanked the members of the public who came forward to alert us to this scam and provided key evidence for the investigation.
"We are reminding the public to be cautious, particularly at this time of year, and to only buy event tickets from reputable, properly registered companies. If an offer seems too good to be true, it is often because it is."
