 FANS - BEWARE WHEN BUYING TICKETS ON THE NET
FANS - BEWARE WHEN BUYING TICKETS ON THE NET It is always best to purchase tickets direct from the venue or from a reputable firm / outlet that you have already used in the past. If you need to go searching on the net, then here are a few simple rules to follow to make it safer.
1. ALWAYS ensure that the web address starts with "https" when you get to a screen that demands payment. This basically says it is a secure site. There should also be a padlock in the bottom right corner of the web-page (although that can be harder to spot.) 2. Paying on a credit card online normally leaves the customer insured against fraud.
3. If you are unsure, don't. Always go to the venue first.
4. Websites normally have a contact address on them. If it is based in a foreign country, or not stated, it is far less likely to be legitimate.
5. If you have spare tickets to sell, buying them from a non-profit resale site is a far safer bet. www.scarletmist.com is a prime example of this, an ethical ticket exchange website that doesn't charge fees.
