Anyone who buys a ticket and decides they no longer wish to attend the gig can sell it at face value only to other fans from November 1.

Organisers of the tour have stated that resell site Viagogo is not an official vendor.

Buyers attempting to purchase large batches of tickets will be monitored and could have their transactions cancelled if their activity is deemed suspicious.
