Liam Gallagher fans were duped out of more than £400 after touts sold fake tickets to the star's O2 Ritz gig on re-sale sites.
The former Oasis frontman performed an intimate show at the Whitworth Street venue on Saturday, with tickets selling out moments after being released on Ticketmaster.
A number of fans purchased secondary tickets from re-sale sites.
However, when they turned up to the O2 Ritz they were not allowed inside as the venue would only accept original tickets bought through Ticketmaster.
It was discovered the tickets being sold-on were fake.

Radio X, organisers of the event, said it was made clear in the terms and conditions tickets were non-transferable.
Around 50 frustrated fans waited outside the gig venue for more than two hours waiting for updates.
One Liam Gallagher fan, who wishes to remain anonymous, said: "We got tickets through Stubhub. You would think they are a reputable company. The tickets appeared on the app this week.
"We got there at 7pm. We arranged a babysitter for the night and stayed in a hotel for the night nearby.
"The staff were going up and down the queue checking tickets and wristbands.
"They said they were only accepting tickets sold through Ticketmaster. The other people were told to go in a different queue."
"A representative from the Ritz came out to say they were not accepting tickets through Stubhub or Viagogo. We were waiting outside for two hours."
He added: "I paid £425 for two tickets. We have got a 22 month old baby, we don't get to go out that often. I am a massive Oasis fan.
"We had tickets to see him in December 2017 but my little boy had just been born, my partner didn't get to go.
"It was a one off gig, we will never get that gig like that again. It was his birthday, his album had just been released and City won.
"There was a lot of people massively disappointed."
The music fan said those not allowed into the venue were handed letters from management staff explaining the situation which could be shown the re-seller site.
Fans are now appealing for refunds from Stubhub and Viagogo.
A spokeswoman from Radio X said: "It’s important to us that tickets go to fans and conditions were put in place by us and the official ticketing agent Ticketmaster to ensure that tickets were purchased for personal use only and were not resold for profit and/or through unauthorised resale sites.
"Many events are now taking this policy to stop genuine fans paying inflated prices for tickets.
"To that end, Radio X worked with Ticketmaster to operate mobile ticketing for the event and it was stated in the event ticketing T&Cs that tickets were strictly non-transferable and any print outs and/or screenshots of mobile tickets would not be accepted for entry.
"A very small number of fans purchased what they believed to be tickets to the event on unauthorised resale sites however unfortunately these were not genuine tickets and therefore access was not permitted to the event.
"This would have also impacted health and safety by taking the event over capacity.”
The Manchester Evening News has approached Stubhub and Viagogo for comments.
