Welcome back to another week of Vancouver Rave Radar 🪩 Happy Canada Day! 🇨🇦
Festival season is in full swing now and next up is FVDED in the Park! Make sure you check out the FAQs for what’s allowed/not allowed. It’s almost sold out, and if you’re looking for resale tickets the scammers are out in full force. Some tips to help you not get scammed:
Pretty much all of the FVDED resale groups on Facebook are a scam. Do not trust any admins that say they have “verified” tickets available. Never send money to these group admins.
Use PayPal goods & services, ask for ID that matches tickets, do a video call if you can’t meet in person, and if you notice any red flags in your conversation just trust your gut.
FVDED tickets are not officially transferrable. They were sent out as a digital/printable ticket so it requires a level of trust with the seller since they will still hold a copy of the ticket. Use caution!
PSA: Fraser Health will be offering FREE and CONFIDENTIAL substance checking and information on the west side of the park outside of the festival, both days from 1PM-7PM. Have fun and be safe!
And if you’re not going to FVDED, there’s still lots of great events happening!
