Hundreds of music fans have been turned away from a festival after finding their tickets were fakes.
Live Nation, promoters of this weekend's Barclaycard Wireless Festival, said many of those who had purchased tickets from third party websites such as Gumtree and eBay have been refused entry as their tickets are counterfeit.
