ORGANISERS of the Stanbic Bank Jacaranda Music Festival have warned revellers against buying fake tickets from individuals who specialise in swindling music fans.
Running under the theme ‘The Music, The People, The City,’ the event will be held at Thornpark Polo Club outside Harare.
It gets underway tomorrow.
In a statement, the organisers said:
“The festival is starting from October 4 to 6 at Thorn Park Polo Grounds.
“Please purchase tickets from designated ticket selling points.
“Do not buy tickets or tags in the car park to avoid counterfeits.
“Entry is through the Main Gate – please have your ticket ready to be scanned.
“Re-entry is allowed with a valid wristband or wrist stamp on Saturday and Sunday only.
“There is no re-entry on Friday.”
At the last Doek & Slay show at Alex Sports Club, scores of music fans were left stranded after it emerged that they had secured counterfeit tickets.

The line-up includes Ace FRVR, Reverb 7, Micasa (SA), The Travellers Band,Dlala Thukzin, Freeman HKD & HKD Band, Aga Nyabinde, SkyRoot, Scripts and Bars, Shaku Shante, Daniel Deuschle, Rax The Dj, Feli Nandi, Cassper Nyovest, Nutty O, Mokoomba, Master H, Nomfusi, Idoipe — Cuervo Lento — Spain, James Sakala (Zambia), St Emmo, Spunjand Felo le tee (SA).
