Why did Dubai Police warn about fake Global Village VIP Packs?
Dubai Police has warned the public about fake websites and social media accounts promoting fraudulent Global Village VIP Packs ahead of Season 31.
The warning comes as interest grows in the seasonal attraction and its limited VIP packages. According to Dubai Police, scammers may create websites and social media pages that closely resemble official Global Village channels, making it difficult for buyers to identify fake offers.
These fraudulent platforms can be used to take payments or collect personal and financial information. Dubai Police has urged residents and visitors to remain cautious and avoid suspicious links or offers from unknown sources.
The warning is particularly relevant as Global Village VIP Pack pre-sales are now underway.
Where can you buy official Global Village VIP Packs?
Global Village says Season 31 VIP Packs are sold exclusively through the Coca-Cola Arena website, which is the authorised distributor.
Global Village has stated that no other websites, platforms, vendors or individuals are authorised to sell the VIP Packs.
This means buyers should be careful when they see VIP Pack offers on social media, resale platforms or through private sellers. A page that uses Global Village branding does not automatically mean it is an official sales channel.
Buyers should access the authorised sales platform directly rather than clicking on links shared by unknown accounts or individuals.
When are Global Village VIP Packs on sale?
Global Village VIP Pack sales are being released in stages.
The current schedule is:
- September 21 to 25: VIP Pack pre-sales
- September 26: General VIP Pack sales
- October 14: Global Village Season 31 opens
A priority booking fee applies during the pre-sale period.
Global Village has also said that VIP Packs are available in limited quantities and are sold on a first-come, first-served basis.
Season 31 will open on October 14, 2026, and is scheduled to continue until May 2027.
How much do Global Village VIP Packs cost?
The four main Global Village VIP Packs for Season 31 cost between Dh1,890 and Dh7,900.
| VIP Pack | Price | Pre-sale priority fee |
|---|---|---|
| Silver | Dh1,890 | Dh200 |
| Gold | Dh2,490 | Dh300 |
| Platinum | Dh3,490 | Dh500 |
| Diamond | Dh7,900 | Dh1,000 |
The packages offer different combinations of benefits, including VIP entry tickets, VIP parking, Wonder Pass cards and offers at selected Dubai attractions.
Global Village is also offering Mega Silver and Mega Gold options. Mega Silver costs Dh3,490, while Mega Gold is priced at Dh4,990.
One VIP Pack will also contain a Dh31,000 prize, adding another attraction for buyers during the new season.
Who can buy a Global Village VIP Pack?
Global Village says buyers must be 18 years or older and hold a valid Emirates ID.
Each Emirates ID is limited to one VIP Pack. Buyers are also not permitted to use additional Emirates IDs to purchase packs on behalf of other people.
Global Village has stated that transactions that do not follow these rules may be cancelled without a refund.
The packs are also limited in number, so buyers should not rely on unofficial sellers who claim to have additional packages available after official stock sells out.
How can you avoid fake Global Village VIP Pack scams?
Dubai Police has urged the public to take basic precautions when shopping for Global Village packages online.
Visitors should:
- Buy VIP Packs only through the authorised sales channel.
- Check the website address carefully before making a payment.
- Avoid links sent by unknown social media accounts or individuals.
- Be cautious of VIP Packs offered at unusually low prices.
- Check whether a social media account is genuinely associated with Global Village.
- Never share banking or personal information with unverified sellers.
- Report suspicious websites, accounts and links to Dubai Police.
Dubai Police has advised residents to report suspected online fraud through its eCrime platform or by calling 901.
Global Village has also warned that VIP Packs purchased from unauthorised sources may be cancelled or deactivated without a refund.
The warning comes at an important time for Global Village, as demand for Season 31 VIP Packs is expected to increase ahead of the October 14 opening.
For UAE residents and tourists, the key point is simple: verify the seller before making a payment. Fake websites can look similar to genuine platforms, while unofficial social media accounts may use Global Village branding to appear legitimate.
Buying through an authorised channel also allows visitors to check the correct price, package benefits, eligibility requirements and sales conditions before completing a transaction.
With Global Village returning for another season, visitors should also be wary of fake promotions involving discounted tickets, VIP access or prize offers that are not announced through official channels.
