IRISH star Joanne McNally has shared an update after being “financially swindled” with a festival ticket scam.
The 42-year-old had been looking forward to attending the huge music festival this weekend with pals but was left heartbroken after she was “robbed”.

The comedian used a private concierge to buy her Glastonbury tickets – but they never materialised.
Joanne’s mystery seller blocked her phone number and left herself and 50 other music fans furious.
The Dubliner explained: “He is gone. The money is gone. There is no ticket. We were robbed. And obviously it wasn’t cheap because it was Glastonbury and it’s a once in a lifetime experience.”
Joanne had been due to go to Glastonbury with her close friend, content creator Rossi Lewis, who headed to a property he believed was registered to Joanne’s ticket scammer.
Joanne later explained what Rossi found when her got to the house: “Apparently, he listed this concierge company to his parents’ address,” she said.
Rossi has since claimed the man in question has called him to apologise for the scam, which has left Joanne seriously out of pocket.
And after a rocky few hours, Joanne managed to bag herself another golden ticket.
She shared an update for her fans last night on Instagram saying: “I’m coming to you from a petrol station toilet, which can only mean one thing – I got a ticket.
“The festival gods have been good to me. So I can access my tepee which was going to sit there vacant for the weekend.”
Joanne had a quick turn around as she got festi-ready wearing a pair of black faded jorts, a black one-shoulder bodysuit and a pair of black and white trainers.
The 42-year-old finished off her cool look with a purple and black rhinestone cap, a pair of white Bound socks and a gold chain around her neck.
The podcaster posed with her arms in the air holding a drink in her hand as she finally arrived at Worthy Farm.
Joanne shared the stunning snap on Instagram and captioned it: “Made it to @glastofest.”
She added: “Despite getting financially swindled by a company trying to pay off the Albanian mafia.”
‘THANK GOD’
Joanne’s invested friends and fans were so relieved to see the stars align for her.
Her pal Vogue Williams wrote: “Thanks be to god!!!!”
Lynn commented: “Thank god Ireland was running out of candles to light for your ticket journey.”
Another follower said: “I’ve been genuinely worried about this for days. All is well.”
Molly remarked: “I was far too invested in his story! At one point I was getting numbers to get names to get addresses to get flights to get your ticket!!!!!”
