May shared a video on Instagram that was originally posted to TikTok, where it appears as though May is offering 10 people backstage tickets to his next show for $800, a markdown from their original price of $2,000.
May was first alerted to the scam when a fan shared the video, and he commented, “My God. This is horrific." He noted, “I suppose this is now so easy to do - and there are always people who will sink to any depths to try to make a quick buck. Disgusting."
He added that he was “feeling violated” and wrote, “I certainly don’t feel comfortable or safe in the world as it has become now. Will all have to try to hold onto what is real in our lives.”
