Punters told how they were left gutted after originally being allowed into the venue with their tickets but were later denied access to their seat by security as it had already been sold to somebody else.
Heather Sabattini brought youngsters Lydia, 12, and Aria, 8, up from Ayr to seen the Please Please Please superstar after they received £240 tickets each for their birthday.
But the girls, who were dressed up in pink for the performance, had to return to their car after they were all denied entry because their Viagogo tickets.
Gutted Heather told the Scottish Sun: “We were told that we weren’t getting in.
“The box office told us they were fraudulent.
“We had bought the tickets last August on Viagogo, when they didn’t arrive today we went to pick them up only to be told they didn’t exist.”
Another furious parent from Alloa said she had been trying to gain access with her £650 resale tickets she had paid for herself and her ten-year-old daughter.
She said: “It’s absolutely heart breaking, we got in so far and then said that we couldn’t go to our seats as somebody was in them.
“We were directed to the box office and they told us they if it was Viagogo, expect it to be fake and they’ll be no chance of getting in.
“I bought the tickets with my credit card so I’ll go do a chargeback but it’s my daughter who is gutted, she is going to have to pretend to her friends she saw her.
“She is heartbroken.”

Another family told the Scottish Sun that they bought six tickets but only four worked.
Hydro staff have been taking fans in small groups inside to see if their seat was available.
The unlucky relatives added: “We are just going home, we got two adults and two kids in but our tickets didn’t work.
“There were dozens of children crying at the box office, these scammers are ripping off kids.”
Another mother added: “My nine-year-old daughter has been counting down this concert for eight months and Sabrina Carpenter is her idol.
“She was left hanging around for three hours after she was first rejected, and was told to wait at box office until just before she got on stage to find out her seat was free but there were loads more who didn’t get in and got turned away.
“There were so many crying kids – how can that be allowed to happen after Taylor Swift.”
The OVO Hydro and Viagogo have been contacted for comment.
