Ellesmere Port man admits selling fake Taylor Swift tickets

A man from Ellesmere Port has pleaded guilty to selling fake Taylor Swift concert tickets.

Jordan Moore appeared at Chester Crown Court on Friday 13th February where he pleaded guilty to seven counts of fraud by false representation.

The court heard how between November 2023 and March 2025 Moore defrauded seven victims out of more than £5,000.

Of the seven charges, five counts related to the fraudulent sale of Taylor Swift concert tickets through Facebook and Gumtree.

The remaining two charges related to the fraudulent sale of greyhound equipment.

Moore, 32, of Reedville, Smithy Lane, Little Sutton, Ellesmere Port, has been released on bail and will be sentenced at Chester Crown Court on Friday 27 March.

Police Constable Hindley, from Cheshire Police, said:

“I welcome the guilty plea entered by Moore and I hope that it provides some reassurance for his victims.

“While the internet now makes it much easier to sell items, unfortunately, as we’ve seen in this case, it also makes it easier for dishonest sellers to defraud victims.

“Moore was well aware that what he was doing was wrong, but he thought that he would be able to outsmart his victims and avoid justice.

“Thankfully, as a result of the information provided by the victims, and the evidence gathered by the team here at Cheshire Police, he was left with no option but to admit his guilt and will now be held accountable for his actions.”
