Tickets to Peter Pan via email - scam? as can't find a comp on MSE?

Kailua

Looks like a genuine email from bhlivetickets for Peter Pan at Bournemouth but says

YOUR E-TICKET(S) ARE ATTACHED TO THIS EMAIL, SENT TO xxxxxxx. Please print ALL PAGES of the PDF file attached to the email and bring them with you to gain admission to the event.

The fact I can't find a competition on MSE, I'm in Brum so unlikely to enter a comp for Bournemouth (although we do have family there) and that is has an attachment that MUST be opened makes me think this is a scam? Anyone else had an email like this?

Yes, I have had one too, definitely a scam

Thanks, debra1968

That's quite an elaborate scam or a breakdown in their security? Gives info on their website which I found when googling the telephone number in the email.

I got the same too with a zip file.
Considering I've never been to Bournemouth or BHLive, then I guess our email addresses have been obtained from somewhere else.
