Commenting, festival spokesman Dion Clements said, "As tempting as it might be to purchase stolen tickets at cheaper prices, these tickets will not be valid. Members of the public are strongly advised not to purchase these tickets under any circumstances. the tickets are now worthless and purchasers attempting to use them risk being implicated. it's a criminal offence to be in possession of stolen goods.

"Given that genuine tickets offer great value from just £35 per day, or £64 for the weekend, it is highly advisable to only purchase tickets from credible, authorised outlets to avoid disappointment. Do not purchase tickets from individuals."

The Sound Island Festival organisers are urging anyone with any information, regarding the stolen tickets, to contact Kent Police in Margate.

The event also features special guest appearances from Rita Ora, Lawson, James Arthur, Union J, Giggs, The Vamps, Bebe Black, MK1, Joywride and Little Nikki.
