How to Get Legitimate Tickets
1. Use official channels: Purchase tickets only from the band’s official website or authorised ticket vendor.
2. Check the venue: Visit the official website of the concert venue for ticket information.
3. Use secure payment methods: Pay with a credit card or PayPal for added protection.
4. Be realistic about prices: If a deal seems too good to be true, it probably is!
5. Set up ticket alerts: Use official apps or websites to get notified when tickets go on sale.
What Not to DO:
1. Do not buy from unverified sources: Avoid purchasing tickets from unofficial websites, social media posts or classified ads.
2. Never pay by bank transfer: Legitimate ticketing platforms don’t ask for direct bank transfers.
3. Do not click on suspicious links: Be wary of emails or texts with links to ticket sales – they may be phishing scams.
4. Avoid sharing personal information: Don’t give out personal information or financial details unless you are certain that the seller is legitimate.
5. Do not rush into a purchase: Scammers often create a false sense of urgency. Take your time to verify the seller
6. Do not post images of your ticket online as they can be replicated or used to scam another buyer.
