Ways to check if an event is legitimate

Thinking about buying tickets but want to make sure an event is the real deal? Here's what to look out for.

Written by Fatsoma

We don't organise events ourselves, but we do work to make sure the events listed on Fatsoma are going ahead. We check in with event organisers to verify this, so you can buy with confidence.

That said, here are a few things worth checking before you buy.

Check the event details

Every legitimate event listed on Fatsoma should have a venue. You can find this in the information panel at the top of the event page.

Look at the organiser's following

The number of followers an event organiser has can give you a good idea of how much interest there is. You can find a link to the organiser's brand page and the amount of followers they have just below the information panel, which is worth a look before you commit.

Check the past events

One of the best ways to get a feel for an organiser is to see what they've put on before. Head to their brand page, click 'Events' and then 'Past' to see their previous events and get a sense of their history.

Still not sure?

If something doesn't feel right about an event, please get in touch with our team and we'll look into it for you.
