Don’t Fall Victim To Fraudulent Schemes

When popular artists or superstars go on major tours, there is high demand for seats. Likewise, the same goes for popular tourist attractions, big events and major sport events, where demand is high. People are tempted to look in unusual places for tickets and this has created a perfect situation for scammers.

The scammers take advantage of the fact that physical tickets are being increasingly replaced by digital tickets, which are purchased online, downloaded into a phone app and then presented for scanning at the arena gate.

While digital ticketing makes it easier for fans, it is also a convenience for criminals. Instead of having to print counterfeit tickets and peddle them on a dark street corner, the scammers can sit at home and post ads for non-existent tickets on online marketplaces.

We strongly encourage adding security features to your physical tickets to protect their authenticity.
