An Australian has been jailed in Singapore for using a forged concert pass at an Ed Sheeran concert.<\/p>\n
Paul Cosgrove, along with a Briton and two New Zealanders, obtained and used the fake passes to bring fans into the sold-out concert in Singapore in November, local media report.<\/p>\n
They made more than S$2,000 (\u00a31,100; $1,490) from fans, said prosecutors.<\/p>\n
Cosgrove was found guilty of abetment by conspiracy and given four weeks in jail,\u00a0reported The Straits Times.<\/a><\/p>\n A 60-year-old Briton, Martin Joseph Keane, and two New Zealanders received similar sentences last month.<\/p>\n Cosgrove, 56, had reportedly provided several “all area access” concert passes to the other men, who then brought the fans into the concert on 11 November.<\/p>\n Another Briton, Luke Simon McKay, has also been charged for his involvement, and his case is pending.<\/p>\n Sheeran is known for his tough stance against unfair access to his gigs – earlier this year he\u00a0put in place strict ticketing and entry rules for his 2018 UK stadium gigs.<\/a><\/p>\n Source: bbc.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
