Virginia Man Arrested For Selling Fake BLACK SABBATH Concert Tickets; Police Seek Additional Victims

August 22, 2016

According to The Baltimore Sun, a 34-year-old man was arrested for selling fraudulent tickets to a BLACK SABBATH concert.

In mid-August, a victim reported to police that through Craigslist he had arranged to purchase four tickets for a Live Nation-presented BLACK SABBATH August 21 concert in Bristow, Virginia. The victim met the seller at a public location in Elkridge, Maryland to complete the sale. After contacting Ticketmaster, the victim learned the tickets were fraudulent and called police.

Through investigation, police developed Shannon Michael Seeber of Manassas, Virginia as a suspect, located and arrested him. At the time of his arrest, Seeber was in possession of additional fraudulent tickets to multiple concerts, including BLACK SABBATH, Barbara Streisand, Drake and Adele. Several templates for United States identification badges, a handgun and suspected illegal drugs were also located in his vehicle.

Seeber has been charged with theft scheme, forgery, possession of false government identification, drug possession and related charges.

He was released on $35,000 bond.

Police has released his photo (see below) in an effort to locate possible additional scam victims.

Anyone who purchased fraudulent tickets from this suspect is urged to contact police at 410-313-2200 to file a report.
