Dubai Police issue alert over Global Village VIP ticket scams

Thursday, 18 September 2025 15:05

By ARN News Staff

Dubai Police are warning the public about fake links circulating online and on social media, falsely promoting Global Village VIP packs at discounted prices.

These links are designed to steal money and personal data by mimicking official platforms.

Authorities say these scams resurface every year, taking advantage of the high demand for Global Village tickets.

They have stressed that the only safe way to purchase tickets and VIP packs is through official channels, including the Global Village website, mobile app, authorised outlets, or for VIP packs specifically, the Coca-Cola Arena website.

Residents are urged to stay alert, avoid suspicious links and report any fraudulent activity through the e-Crime platform or by calling 901.
