How can I avoid fake concert or sports tickets?
Reviewed answer
Verify the venue's ticketing and transfer rules; screenshots are poor proof of ownership.
- Start with the venue or event organizer's official website to identify authorized ticket channels.
- Check whether the ticket must be transferred into your own account. Follow the event's official transfer process.
- Read refund and buyer-protection terms. Avoid sellers who rush you off the platform or demand payment with no purchase protection.
