Scams in action 

Spot ticket scams easily

Be aware of scams: Criminals target people buying tickets for popular events through social media and online marketplaces. Follow these tips to stay safe:

 

  1. Trust your instincts: If a ticket deal seems too good to be true, it probably is.
  2. Use safe payment options: Pay with a credit or debit card for buyer protection. Avoid bank transfers, as they can be more difficult to dispute.
  3. Check for small errors: Look for mistakes in web addresses; scammers use these tricks to create fake sites.
  4. Buy from trusted sources: Get tickets only from official websites or known ticket exchange platforms. Avoid social media for ticket purchases.
  5. Complete your My security profile: You can improve your security levels by completing your personalised actions in ‘My Security Profile’ and checking back for new actions.
