A packed show can make for a memorable night.

But be careful. Sold out and high demand events are primary targets for Ticket Scams.

Ticket Scams occur when a scammer tricks you into sending them money in exchange for a ticket that doesn’t exist.

This could be a counterfeit ticket complete with forged barcodes and real company logos, or a photocopy of a genuine ticket already sold.

Be on the lookout for sellers insisting on payment through Zelle^® or another direct payment method, keeping in mind that certain payment types can’t be refunded.

If you’re unable to verify a seller’s legitimacy, it’s best to find tickets elsewhere. Whenever possible, purchase tickets on presale, at the venue box office, or from an authorized third-party seller.

When it comes to ticket scams, remember to slow down and ask questions.

If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.
