8 Ways to Avoid a Ticket Scam this Summer
1) Purchase from the venue. Whenever possible, use the official ticket sales
agent for the venue. Many now offer secondary sales options, as well.

2) Consider your source and verify your ticket. Know the difference
between a ticket broker (a legitimate and well-known reseller), a ticket
scalper (an unregulated and unlicensed ticket seller), and a scammer selling
fraudulent tickets. Verify your ticket by paying a visit to the arena where
the event will be held. Present your ticket to “Will Call” (customer service)
and they can verify if your ticket is legitimate. Do an Internet search for the
name of your event to see what others are saying. You may find that past
events have been canceled with little recourse.
3) Make sure your event requires a ticket. Some tourist or city events are
free and do not require a ticket. Don’t let a ticket or street vendor convince
you that you need a ticket to get into the event. Always check with the host
or event location to confirm that a ticket is necessary.
