Two people have been arrested after hundreds of Beyonce fans fell victim to a fake ticket scam in February.
According to police, hundreds of fans were turned away from the singer's Manchester gig back in February, after the tickets they bought online turned out to be forged.
The tickets were believed to have been bought for at least £100, and British Transport Police estimate that the people responsible for the scam made around £28,000.
A 31 year old man and 55 year old woman from North Weald, Essex, have now been arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to defraud in relation to the incident.

Det Con Mike Dermondy said: "In each case, the victims believe they were buying genuine tickets and arranged to meet the seller at locations near to the venue where they handed over cash in exchange for the tickets.
"The fraud only came to light when the victims tried to enter the concert venue and secutiy staff noticed the tickets were fakes."
The two people arrested over the ticket scam have been bailed until November.
Beyonce is currently preparing for her On The Run tour, which is a joint tour with husband Jay Z. As well as numerous US dates, there are also two Paris shows planned, details of which are below. Tickets are on sale now, for more information, visit Gigwise Gig Tickets.
