"Hi, family. We have noted some fake websites selling tickets to our shows. Please note that we only use TicketPro, Webtickets and Computicket as the online retailers! Anything else is not us! Thank you."

Lebo's concert includes Afro-pop duo Mafikizolo, singers Jaziel Brothers, Xolly Mncwango, Puleng March, Maleh and many more artists.

Fake websites cause artists major setbacks

Accroding to TshisaLIVE, Lebo noted that this is a recurring issue for a few artists, saying it is heartbreaking as artists lose out big time.

“I do not think I am the only one who has experienced this. Scammers have opened a fake ticket website to scam fans when we host events. It takes us back as artists, and I feel it was during those times when piracy was at a high level. It is like we are fighting a losing battle.”

“It is discouraging because you might think you planned something, but somebody wants to come and ride on that idea by selling fake tickets, just to make money out of artists. So it is heartbreaking," she expressed.
