While tickets for Dispatch’s reunion tour have not even gone on sale yet, some ticket re-sellers are already advertising seats at inflated prices. In response, the group has issued a statement regarding ticket sales and the secondary market. The band encourages fans not to purchase tickets from scalpers, indicating:

Dispatch is sad and disappointed to see so many third-party sites selling false inventory to shows on the DISPATCH 2011 tour, lying to the band’s fans about ticket inventory that they absolutely do not have. Here are a few notes from our management on how to avoid playing into their scam.

· NO tickets are on sale for shows to DISPATCH 2011 dates until January 21st, when the Dispatch Mailing List Presale and American Express Cardmember Presale begin. Anyone or any website that tells you they have tickets is fraudulent.

· Ticketmaster and authorized Ticketmaster box offices are the ONLY places to get legitimate tickets.

· All other websites are secondary-market scalpers. Any tickets purchased via these outlets cannot be guaranteed. As an example, a secondary ticketing website is offering exact seat locations to Dispatch at Red Rocks. These seat locations do not even exist for Dispatch’s show.

Dispatch has worked hard to keep ticket prices low – only $40.00 for the entire tour. PLEASE do not support these fraudulent companies by purchasing tickets via their websites.
