Aussie Amongst Four Men Jailed For Forging Fake Tickets To Ed Sheeran Concert

Staff Writer

Caught out.

More Ed Sheeran Ed Sheeran

An Australian man is one of four who have been jailed for forging 'All Access Areas' tickets to an Ed Sheeran concert in Singapore last month. 

As News Limited reports, 56-year-old Paul Cosgrove has been sentenced to four weeks in prison alongside British local Martin Keane and two New Zealanders. 

Cosgrove reportedly worked with Keane online before meeting in Singapore where Keane took four fans into Sheeran's show at Singapore Indoor Stadium on 11 and 12 November using the fake tickets, before they were caught by security.

Prosecutors allege that Cosgrove and Keane, as well as the two-previously jailed New Zealand men, made over $2000 Singapore dollars ($AU1937).

While Keane was jailed last month after getting caught with the fake tickets, Cosgrove was not arrested until 22 November at an immigration checkpoint.
