Kate Nash has announced plans to sell gig tickets directly to her fans in an attempt to combat touts and scammers.
The 'Foundations' singer spoke out after joining the Office of Fair Trading's 'Just Tick It' campaign, which aims to raise consumer awareness of fake ticket websites.
Speaking to the Daily Star, Nash revealed: "I'm going to start selling tickets to my own gigs because I'm sick of my friends being ripped off.
"Buying tickets should be exciting, not about fighting to get hold of them from touts who have bought in bulk - or worse, getting scammed by dodgy sites."
She added: "My sister's friends were victims trying to get Reading Festival tickets. About 20% of people know someone who has been ripped off."
Nash recently confirmed that she is working on her second album with former Suede star Bernard Butler.
