Formula 1 shares statement after illegal resale of tickets at London event

Formula 1 is heading to London in mid-February, but not to race. The O2 Arena is hosting an event which will see all 10 teams present their 2025 cars on the same night. From Friday, fans could buy tickets for this huge event, but Formula 1 ha snow shared a statement regarding fraud.

The tickets unsurprisingly sold out in no time, but it appears that many tickets were also illegally resold for the launch event. Besides the presentations of the cars, there will also be musical entertainment and other entertainment, as well as interviews with team bosses and drivers. F1 has made a statement following the ticket sales.

"We are aware that some tickets for our season launch at The O2 have been offered on unofficial resale websites. We can confirm that this is against the terms of sale and that tickets bought through an unofficial resale platform are not valid for entry," Formula 1's statement read.

"In collaboration with The O2, we have also determined that some of the advertisements are fraudulent. We advise all our fans to buy tickets only through theo2.co.uk or through AXS Official Resale," it continued.
