A WARNING has been issued after reports of free Armed Forces Day tickets for the Saturday event in Salisbury being sold on Facebook.

Wiltshire Council, who are organising the event, has said free tickets that have been sold will be cancelled.

A council spokesperson said: “We’re disappointed that people would choose to sell tickets for this free event, which is an opportunity to support our troops for all the work they do for us.

“Please do not attempt to buy or sell tickets to Armed Forces Day National Event in Salisbury, as anyone found doing so will have their tickets cancelled and will be refused entry.

“Free tickets are still available on our website for the Friday and Sunday. Saturday tickets are fully allocated, but if you have tickets you no longer need, please return them to us so we can release them to people who want to attend. If you wish to attend on the Saturday, please check our social media channels for any release of returned tickets.”

The celebrations for Armed Forces Day in Salisbury start on Friday and continue over the weekend.

There will be three nights of live music with Shine for Salisbury winners Duck n Cuvver getting the party started on Friday evening before headliners The Feeling.

Saturday is Armed Forces Day nationally and is being marked with a military parade through the city centre in the morning.

HRH The Princess Royal will take the salute outside The Guildhall as the Royal Air Force Red Arrows flypast at 10am.

Saturday’s line-up includes an air display, military displays and demonstrations, live music and dance on the main stage and the BBC Wiltshire stage.

Headliners Kaiser Chiefs take to the stage followed by a firework finale bringing a packed day to a close. The evening’s live music is hosted by platinum sponsor Lovell.

Sunday pays tribute to veterans and cadets, those who have served and those who may serve.
