Fans were turned away from Noel Gallagher’s north-east show after purchasing secondhand tickets for the gig.
The former Oasis star played at the Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre (AECC) on Wednesday night.
However a number of fans were refused entry at the door and left hundreds of pounds out of pocket after purchasing tickets for the gig through controversial online marketplaces including Viagogo, the Press and Journal reports.
Between Gallagher’s Aberdeen gig and Tuesday’s Hydro show in Glasgow, hundreds of fans are said to have been refused entry.
Concert-goers were required to have ID matching the name on their ticket, meaning those who bought briefs from online marketplaces were unable to gain entry.

Fans who have bought tickets from Viagogo for Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds tour have been unable to get into concerts in Glasgow and Aberdeen last night.
Be warned for the other gigs that you need the ID that matched the original buyer of the tickets or you won't get in… pic.twitter.com/i39n680KHk

Lisa Stars of Aberdeen said she will never use Viagogo again after paying £186 for a pair of tickets – nearly double the £49.50 face value.
She was asked to buy two more from the ticket office on the night and received a refund from the marketplace.
