If you tried — and failed — to buy tickets last week to the big Bruno Mars concerts coming to Rogers Arena next summer, welcome to the club.

But there’s another club Vancouver police are already warning people against joining: the legions of fans certain to get burned by fake tickets.

The Bruno Mars tour is one of the hottest attractions on the planet, selling an amazing one million tickets in a single day, according to Billboard Magazine.

Demand was so high in Vancouver that promoters added a second Rogers Arena show that sold just as fast on the Live Nation box-office website.

Within minutes of selling out on that site, Bruno Mars tickets were being hustled at inflated prices on other sites such as Craigslist.

That’s where the cops come in, warning many of the secondary-market tickets will be fake.

“There is a very high likelihood that if you buy Bruno Mars tickets on Craigslist, those will be fraudulent tickets,” said VPD Sgt. Randy Fincham.
